Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh cauliflower florets (about 1 medium head)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or other fresh herbs, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Wash and cut the cauliflower into evenly sized bite-sized florets to ensure uniform cooking and optimal crispiness.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add finely chopped garlic and sauté gently until golden and fragrant, being careful not to burn it to preserve its delicate flavor.
  3. Cook the Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the pan, tossing them in the buttery garlic mixture. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender with some golden, crispy edges.
  4. Season and Finish: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, drizzle with lemon juice for brightness and toss in fresh parsley or herbs to add a vibrant, fresh touch just before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh cauliflower with no brown spots or soft patches for best texture.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure crispy edges on the cauliflower.
  • Cook garlic gently over medium heat to prevent bitterness and maximize flavor.
  • Try browned butter instead of regular butter for a deeper, nutty flavor.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and crispiness.
