Spread the onions in the dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and dot with the remaining tablespoon butter. Roast until tender and caramelized, about 30 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat on a Frigidaire Induction Cooktop. Add the cauliflower and 1 tablespoon salt. Boil until very tender, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cauliflower to a food processor. Puree until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.

Bake until the sauce is thickened and bubbling, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the other Frigidaire Gallery® Double Wall Oven to the power broil setting, with a rack 6 inches from the broiler heat source. 5. Uncover the dish and transfer to the broiler. Broil until browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.
  • Weeknight Tips: -This creamy cauliflower sauce tastes amazing when tossed with pasta or broccoli boiled on a Frigidaire Gallery® Induction Cooktop. -The roasted pearl onions are a tasty side dish on their own, particularly with seared steaks. -Chop up any leftover onions for a special sandwich spread.
