A visually stunning and delicious roasted Romanesco dish paired with tangy lemon-caper butter. Perfect for any occasion and packed with wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium Romanesco, trimmed into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, a generous pinch
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Trim the Romanesco into bite-sized florets and place them in a large bowl.
  3. Drizzle the florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the Romanesco in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. While the Romanesco roasts, combine 4 tablespoons of softened butter, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of chopped capers, and 1 clove of minced garlic in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
  6. Once the Romanesco is roasted, transfer it to a serving platter and dollop the lemon-caper butter over the top. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish and serve warm.

Notes

[‘For extra crispy edges, ensure the Romanesco florets are spaced out on the baking sheet.’, ‘Let the butter soften at room temperature for easier mixing.’, ‘Rinse capers thoroughly to remove excess brine.’, ‘Adjust the salt and lemon juice in the butter to suit your taste.’]
