Units of Measurement:
main
1 Head cauliflower, preferably with leaves still attached
2 Tablespoon kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon
2 Tablespoon room temperature ghee or grass-fed butter
2 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
flaky sea salt, for garnish

Steps

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 500°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

    500 ˚F / 260 ˚C

  • 2

    Trim the stem of the cauliflower so the cauliflower will stand upright on the board. If the cauliflower has leaves still attached, do not trim them off.

  • 3

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the salt and submerge the cauliflower in the water, stem-side up. Boil until the florets have slightly softened but are still intact, about 10 to 12 minutes.

  • 4

    Place the cauliflower stem-side down on a wire rack to drain and let air-dry for 5 minutes.

  • 5

    Using your hands or two forks, gently spread apart the florets to create some crevices. Rub the florets with the ghee and season with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Roast on the Traeger until the florets are golden brown and fork-tender, around 40 minutes.

    500 ˚F / 260 ˚C

    Drizzle the roasted cauliflower with the olive oil and finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt. Serve immediately and enjoy!
