Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower
  • 1 cup vegetable stock or water
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, try smoked
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chiffonade fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chiffonade fresh sage
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules
  • ½ teaspoon minced fresh rosemary

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the water in an 8 inch by 8 inch casserole dish. Add the cauliflower. Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, and top with ½ teaspoon salt, and the black pepper. Use your (clean) hands to evenly coat the cauliflower.
  • Cover with aluminum foil, being sure not to have the foil contact the food, and bake until cauliflower is just tender all the way through, approximately 45-50 minutes. Remove the foil.
  • Change oven setting to HIGH broil. Broil for 5 minutes, or until the outside of the cauliflower turns a crispy brown. Remove from the oven.
  • Place the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Baste cauliflower well before showing off, slicing and serving.
