Roasted Cauliflower with Brown Butter

Roasted cauliflower has a savory caramelized crust and is tender and creamy inside. Mine was neither savory or creamy. It tasted good, and I liked it, but it was crispy. I like cauliflower so it would be hard to ruin it, but this was pretty easy and good. I'll have again.

Roasted Cauliflower with Brown Butter

6 cups cauliflower florets (about 1 head)
Cooking spray
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons butter

Preheat oven to 400°.

Arrange cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Coat cauliflower with cooking spray; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes, turning cauliflower twice.

Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat; cook 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine cauliflower and browned butter in a bowl, and toss gently to coat.
