Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Place the florets on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through for even cooking.

  3. 3

    Make the Brown Butter Emulsion

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the capers.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and drizzle the brown butter emulsion over the top. Garnish with chopped chervil and serve immediately.
