Dijon adds a zesty flavor to Mustard Roasted Cauliflower.

 

Did you know that Dijon mustard gets its name because it was originally created by a mustard maker in Dijon, France?

You can read all about the different types of mustard and how they are made in this Mustard Manual: Your Guide to Mustard Varieties.

I found the article from Serious Eats very interesting, and it made me want to experiment with more types of mustard.

But for making Mustard Roasted Cauliflower, I decided to use Dijon mustard because I enjoy its sharp flavor.

And a little goes a long way, so we don’t need to use very much to season an entire head of cauliflower.

The key to getting the roasted cauliflower extra flavorful is to thoroughly coat the florets with the mustard mixture.

 

For this recipe, I highly recommend you use your hands to toss the florets in Dijon, olive oil, and garlic so that you don’t miss any spots.

The easiest way to do this is to combine the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and then take your time to ensure all the florets receive an equal amount of the delicious flavoring.

But first you’ll need to separate the cauliflower into florets.

If you’re not sure how to do that, check out this informative article How to Cut Cauliflower from The Kitchn, one of my favorite cooking resources.

Mustard Roasted Cauliflower is a versatile side dish or starter.

 

It goes with just about everything, from pasta to veggie burgers.

Plus since it’s easy to find cauliflower all year round, you can enjoy this recipe with a wide variety of foods.
