# Ingredients:
→ Main ingredients
01 -
1 teaspoon salt
02 -
¼ teaspoon paprika
03 -
2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
04 -
⅓ cup Danish Creamery salted butter, at room temperature
05 -
1 head cauliflower, cleaned and dried
→ For garnish
06 -
1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced, with extra for topping
07 -
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F and let it get hot.
02 -
Cut off the stem from the bottom of the cauliflower and place it in a baking dish or skillet with sides that are around two inches high.
03 -
In a small bowl, blend the softened butter with the minced garlic, paprika, and salt. Spread this mix over the cauliflower head, covering the sides and top evenly.
04 -
Loosely wrap the cauliflower with foil and bake it for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the middle softens.
05 -
Drop the oven temperature to 375°F. Take off the foil, baste it with the butter from the bottom of the pan, and sprinkle the chives and Parmesan on top. Roast uncovered for another 15 minutes, basting every few minutes, until golden.
# Notes:
01 -
To get a crispy golden look, baste the cauliflower regularly during the final bake.
02 -
Dry the cauliflower thoroughly after rinsing—it helps the butter stick nicely.
03 -
The cauliflower is done when a knife slides through the middle with ease.
