- Total time
- Easy
- Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower, leaves trimmed
- olive oil
- 150g unsalted butter, softened
- a small bunch sage, finely chopped
- a grating nutmeg
- 1 clove garlic, 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.
