Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 10 leaves fresh mint, cut into thin strips
• 0.5 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
• 0.25 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).

Step 2

Toss cauliflower florets with the brown butter and salt until well combined. Transfer to a baking sheet.

Step 3

Roast in the preheated oven until just tender, about 15 minutes. Remove and toss hot cauliflower with red onion, Pecorino Romano cheese, and mint. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with more salt to taste.

Step 4

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, whisking to ensure it doesn't burn, until light brown and nutty-smelling. Remove from heat.
