Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).

Prepare 1 cauliflower, remove all leaves and cut off the stem.

Place on a sheet of baking paper on a baking sheet.

Stage 2

Melt 50 g semi-salted butter, then carefully brush butter all over the cauliflower.

If you don't have semi-salted butter, add salt to the cauliflower.

Stage 3

During cooking, remove the cauliflower 2 or 3 times and brush with the butter that has melted on the baking sheet.

Stage 4

Serve as is to your guests, with one or more sauces. Each person cuts off a few well-roasted heads to enjoy with the sauce.

Remarks

For the choice of sauces, everything is possible according to your taste. At home, we like: mayonnaise, green parsley-sesame sauce and Mornay sauce.

Keeping: Enjoy immediately.
