Ingredients

cauliflower 1, leaves trimmed
olive oil
unsalted butter 150g, softened
sage a small bunch, finely chopped
nutmeg a grating
garlic 1 clove, crushed

Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Rub the cauliflower with 3 tbsp oil, and put into a small baking dish that’s just a little bigger than the cauliflower. Season well and roast for 45 minutes – 1 hour until tender, but still has a little bite.
Step 2

Mash the butter, sage, nutmeg and garlic with some seasoning, and after the initial roasting, generously brush the butter all over the whole cauliflower.
Step 3

Roast for 20-30 minutes more, until you can easily poke a knife into the centre of the stalk. Baste the cauli with the brown butter a few times while roasting.
