Earthy cauliflower florets are elevated with the nutty richness of browned Jersey butter and fragrant sage. A simple yet elegant side dish.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the cauliflower florets with 1 tablespoon of melted Jersey butter, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned, flipping halfway through.
While the cauliflower is roasting, melt the remaining 5 tablespoons of Jersey butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the butter browns and smells nutty (about 5-7 minutes). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Remove the browned butter from the heat and stir in the minced garlic and chopped sage leaves. The butter will sizzle as the garlic and sage are added.
Drizzle the brown butter sage mixture over the roasted cauliflower. Squeeze the lemon juice over the cauliflower.
Serve immediately.

For extra flavor, sprinkle the cauliflower with grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the brown butter for a little heat.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, or the cauliflower will steam instead of roast. If necessary, use two baking sheets.
The browning process for the butter happens quickly. Keep a close eye on it and remove it from the heat as soon as it's browned and nutty smelling to prevent burning.
