Butter Roasted Cauliflower
Rich-buttery whole roasted cauliflower is the perfect side dish for any meal. This recipe is simple and only requires a few ingredients, yet it is packed with flavor. The key to making this dish is in the butter garlic crust. The crust not only adds flavor, but also helps to keep the cauliflower moist as it bakes.

Notes
The differences between the video are using a dutch oven (vs a cast iron skillet)-- The skillet works better for serving. Cooking the cauliflower first and then adding the butter might be better. Gloves will definitely keep your hands clean.
