This recipe features a whole head of cauliflower brushed with homemade garlic butter and baked until tender.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Trim leaves from the base of the cauliflower.

Place cauliflower in a large Dutch oven*, cover, and bake for 40 minutes or until tender.
Uncover, sprinkle on parmesan cheese and bake for 10-15 minutes more, until the cheese is browned and crispy. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
Optional: For softer cauliflower, add 2 tablespoons of broth or water to the bottom of the pan.
*If you don’t have a Dutch oven, this can be baked in a dish and covered with foil.
Test for doneness with a metal skewer.
