WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Trim large leaves off the cauliflower. Trim stalk so cauliflower can sit flat in a Dutch oven.
• Grind fennel seeds with a mortar and pestle. Mix in smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk in olive oil to form a paste. Rub the paste all over the cauliflower. Drizzle lemon juice all over.
• Bake in the preheated oven, covered, until tender, about 30 minutes. Uncover and baste with any juices that have pooled at the base. Continue baking, uncovered, until top is browned and center feels completely tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 15 minutes.

• In a large fry pan over medium heat, warm 2tbsp. of the olive oil and melt the butter. Add the cauliflower florets; sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and toss gently to coat the florets.
