Caper Brown Butter Roasted Cauliflower

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Caper Brown Butter Roasted Cauliflower.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze.

2. Step 2

   Next, take your cauliflower and trim the bottom of the stem to create a stable, flat base.

3. Step 3

   Place the cauliflower head, stem-side down, on a cutting board and slice it vertically into thick slices, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches wide.

4. Step 4

   Don’t forget to remove any tough stem pieces, and feel free to break the slices into smaller, bite-sized florets.

5. Step 5

   Once you have your florets ready, arrange them on the prepared baking sheet and give them a generous drizzle of olive oil, making sure each piece is nicely coated for that perfect roast.

6. Step 6

   Now, pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the cauliflower roast for about 10 minutes.

7. Step 7

   After that, flip the florets over to ensure even cooking and roast them for another 10 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and become tender to the fork.

8. Step 8

   While your cauliflower is roasting to perfection, let’s make a delicious brown butter sauce.

9. Step 9

   Cut your butter into four pieces and melt it in a small saucepan over medium heat.

10. Step 10

    Keep an eye on it and stir constantly for about 4 to 5 minutes until the butter starts to brown and gives off a delightful nutty aroma.

11. Step 11

    You’ll notice it foams up and then settles down—this is when the magic happens! Once your butter is beautifully browned, stir in some minced garlic and let it cook for just 15 to 20 seconds until fragrant.

12. Step 12

    Then, add in the chopped capers and a sprinkle of lemon-pepper seasoning for a burst of flavor, and take the saucepan off the heat.

13. Step 13

    Finally, it’s time to bring it all together! Drizzle that luscious brown butter mixture over your roasted cauliflower and serve it up immediately.
