# Ingredients:
→ Main ingredients
01 -
1 teaspoon salt
02 -
¼ teaspoon paprika
03 -
1 head cauliflower, washed and dried completely
04 -
⅓ cup Danish Creamery salted butter, at room temperature
05 -
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
→ For topping
06 -
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped finely, plus extra for garnish
07 -
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, shredded
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F and let it heat up.
02 -
Cut off the stalk at the bottom of the cauliflower and set it in a baking dish or skillet with sides that are at least two inches high.
03 -
Combine softened butter, chopped garlic, paprika, and salt in a small bowl. Spread this butter mixture all over the outside of the cauliflower, making sure it's covered evenly.
04 -
Loosely cover the cauliflower with foil and roast it for about 40-50 minutes. It's done when you can stick a knife into the center and it goes in easily.
05 -
Drop the oven temperature to 375°F. Take off the foil, spoon some of the melted butter over the cauliflower, and sprinkle with cheese and chives. Bake uncovered for another 15 minutes, basting every 5 minutes until it looks golden and delicious.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep basting with the melted butter during the last bake so it browns beautifully.
02 -
Dry the cauliflower thoroughly before adding the butter so it sticks better.
03 -
When it’s done, you should be able to poke the cauliflower easily with a knife.
