Crack Cauliflower

I've been gobbling Crack Cauliflower long before cauliflower became a Keto dieter's best friend, and when you make it like this, with gobs of butter, garlic, wine, and lemon, it is soooo easy to indulge!

Ingredients

  • whole head of cauliflower broken into pieces
  • 1/2 cup salted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp Dijon or yellow mustard
  • 2 tbsp white wine
  • 2 each cloves of garlic minced fine
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425-F.
  • Prepare the Crack Cauliflower by removing the leaves and cutting away most of the stem. Break the cauliflower into florets, then cut each floret into large bite-size pieces. Put the cauliflower into a large bowl for mixing.
  • Melt the butter in the microwave in a microwave safe container (watch it doesn't foam over). Add the mustard, white wine, and garlic. Stir well to combine. 
  • Toss the cauliflower with the butter sauce. Then, spread the cauliflower out onto a sheet pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Make sure to scrape out all the yummy butter sauce from the bowl.
  • Bake at 425-F for about 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender but still crisp, and brown around some edges. Stir it once about halfway through the cooking time.
  • Sprinkle the lemon juice over the top before serving Crack Cauliflower, and top it with any remaining sauce from the pan. Yum!
