Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Beef or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Gruyère or Swiss cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the cauliflower by removing the leaves and cutting it into medium-sized florets. Rinse and pat dry.
Thinly slice the yellow onion.
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter. Once melted, stir in the sliced onion with a pinch of salt.
Cook the onions for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden brown. Reduce the heat if they start to brown too quickly.
Add the garlic powder, dried thyme, and black pepper to the pan. Stir to coat the onions in the seasonings.
Pour in the beef or vegetable broth and the Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pan, tossing gently to coat them in the broth and onion mixture.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, tossing the florets halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly golden on the edges.
Optional: During the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the Gruyère or Swiss cheese over the cauliflower and allow it to melt and bubble.
Remove the skillet from the oven. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and enjoy your Way Too Easy French Onion Cauliflower!
