Satisfy your taste buds and impress your dinner guests with this simple yet delicious whole roasted cauliflower. Perfect for a healthy family dinner or a cozy meal prep!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- Fresh cracked pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- Fresh thyme
- 4 cups (1l) vegetable or chicken stock, more or less, depending on the size of the cauliflower
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 1/3 cup (70g) melted butter

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Start by heating your oven to 400ºF (200°C). Prepare the cauliflower by trimming the bottom, removing all leaves and the stem carefully to keep the head intact. Rinse lightly and pat dry.
2. In a large pot, place the cauliflower and cover it with your choice of vegetable or chicken stock. Add fresh thyme and bay leaves. Bring this to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 12 minutes.
3. Once simmered, carefully drain the cauliflower and place it in a cast iron skillet or an oven-proof pan. Spoon a small amount of the cooking stock over the top, then generously drizzle with melted butter. Add a sprinkle of fresh thyme and cracked pepper to season.
4. Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on the size of the cauliflower. Baste occasionally with the cooking juices. To test doneness, insert a knife into the cauliflower; it should slide in easily. For a golden finish, broil for an additional 2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
5. Remove the cauliflower from the oven, garnish with more fresh thyme, and serve it warm, drizzled with the buttery cooking juices.
