Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons salt butter
  • 1/4 c. pepitas shelled pumpkin seeds
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 Tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 c. cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil on a baking dish. Place the cauliflower florets on the baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning the cauliflower halfway through baking.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add in the pumpkin seeds and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until the butter is browned. This will take 6-8 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and lime juice and stir.
  • Arrange the cauliflower on a platter and drizzle with the brown butter and pumpkin seeds. Sprinkle with cilantro.
