Ingredients

Cauliflower 1 head
Oil 1/4 cup
Dijon mustard 2 Tbsp
Apple cider vinegar 2 Tbsp
Dried oregano 1 Tbsp
Dried chives 1 Tsp
Garlic powder 1 Tsp
Onion powder 1 Tsp
Salt 1 Tsp
Black pepper 1/2 Tsp
Chili pepper flakes 1/2 Tsp

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Trim the outer leaves off the cauliflower and cut the stem flush with the rest of the head so it can sit straight. Then place the cauliflower in a 4 ½ quart Dutch oven or a dish that has a lid large enough to cover the cauliflower head. Check the lid for proper fitting and trim the base of the cauliflower if necessary.
Combine the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well with a fork until well combined.
Pour the mixture over the cauliflower and rub it all over the cauliflower with your fingertips, or a brush, until it’s completely coated.
Put the lid on and place in the oven for about 35 minutes, or until tender.
Take the lid off, set the oven to broil and place the cauliflower under the broiler for 5 minutes, or until it gets golden brown.
Carefully transfer the cooked cauliflower to a plate and garnish with a handful of fresh chopped parsley and a drizzle of oil, if desired.
