Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower (whole, stem trimmed and leaves removed)
- 2 1/2 cups dry white wine
- 1/3 cup olive oil (plus more for serving)
- 1/4 cup sea salt
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- 1 bay leaf
- Coarse sea salt (for serving)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 475° F. Bring wine, oil, salt, lemon juice, butter, red pepper flakes, honey, bay leaf, and 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Carefully lower in cauliflower, reduce heat, and simmer, turning occasionally, until a knife easily inserts into center, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Using 2 slotted spoons or a mesh strainer, transfer cauliflower to a roasting pan. Drain well before placing the cauliflower in the oven.
- Roast, rotating pan halfway through, until brown all over, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer cauliflower to a plate. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with sea salt.
