Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Rinse the cauliflower and remove the outer leaves and stem. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated with the glaze.
Spread the coated cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between the florets for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned on the edges.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Optional: Add an extra spritz of lemon juice for extra brightness.
