Cheesy Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut the 1 head cauliflower into florets and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet.

2. 2

   Roast for 25-30 minutes, until florets are tender and browned at the edges, shaking the pan halfway through.

3. 3

   While cauliflower roasts, melt 2 tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tbsp flour and cook for 1 minute until bubbly.

4. 4

   Gradually whisk in 1.5 cups milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove from heat and stir in 1.5 cups shredded cheddar until melted and smooth. Season with extra salt and pepper if you like.

6. 6

   Pour the cheese sauce over the roasted cauliflower and toss gently to coat. Return to the oven for 5 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.

7. 7

   Sprinkle with fresh dill before serving.
