Expert Tips

For a different look, the cauliflower can be sliced instead of left in florets. Begin slicing from the whole head of cauliflower, then separate the florets from the core.

The herb butter can be made ahead, covered and refrigerated. Remove from refrigerator to soften while cooking vegetables.
