- Ingredients for 2 people:
- 1/4 cup butter, softened ( you can use more oil less butter if you want)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Whole roasted cauliflower
This is my favorite way to roast cauliflower. So much more flavor is devel-oped. It is also a one pot meal.
Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 350°F (175° C). Mix butter, Oil, Vadouvan spice, salt, and ground black pepper in a bowl. Cut cauliflower stem flush with the rest of the head so it can stay upright in a casserole dish or large sauté pan. Spread butter mixture evenly over the top and sides of cauliflower, place in a casserole dish or large sauté pan. Roast in the preheated oven until tender and cooked through, about 1 hour. Pull out of the oven and spoon any liquid in the casserole dish or sauté pan over the cauliflower.
I like to slice it and serve with a sliced fresh grape, raisin, marcona almond
vinaigrette. also some charred scallions and fried pumpkin seeds.
