Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Separate the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the mustard sauce: Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted.
Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Cook for 1 more minute and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Once the roasted cauliflower is done, transfer it to a serving dish.
Drizzle the warm mustard sauce over the roasted cauliflower.
Sprinkle fresh dill generously over the top and serve immediately.
