For a deeper flavor, brown the butter in a saucepan before mixing it with the other ingredients. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. Rosemary, thyme, or smoked paprika would also be delicious additions. If you prefer a softer cauliflower, you can parboil it for 5-7 minutes before roasting. To make it vegan, substitute the butter with a quality olive oil or vegan butter alternative. Leftover roasted cauliflower can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
