Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Trim the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Rinse under cold water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Toast the Almonds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds until golden brown, stirring frequently, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Brown the Butter

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.

  2. 4

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cauliflower florets with the browned butter and Vaudovan spice blend. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized, flipping halfway through.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the cauliflower is roasted, toss it with the toasted almonds. Serve warm drizzled with citrus aioli on top.
