Roast until underside is deeply browned, 20-25 minutes. Turn cauliflower over, season with salt and pepper, and continue to roast until other side is dark brown and crisp, 15-20 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a small skillet over medium. Add pumpkin seeds, bring to a simmer, and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until pumpkin seeds are toasted and butter is browned and smells nutty, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and add red pepper flakes; let cool 10 minutes. Add chopped cilantro and lime juice; season with salt and pepper.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (425 degrees F, if using convection). Cut the stem off the cauliflower as close to the florets as possible to provide a flat base for roasting. Remove and discard any green leaves. Place the cauliflower in a cast-iron skillet and rub oil all over the surface. Place in the oven and roast, 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven; the cauliflower should be light brown and slightly softened. Use your hands to carefully mash the softened butter onto the top of the cauliflower. Place back into the oven for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven. Tilt the skillet to pool the brown butter at one end, then use a spoon to thoroughly baste the cauliflower. Test for doneness by inserting a sharp knife into the center: the cauliflower should be completely tender with no resistance. If it needs a bit more time in the oven, baste one final time and place back in the oven for 10 more minutes.
• Remove from the oven, baste again, and test for doneness. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and serve whole or cut into wedges.
