Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the cauliflower
Heat the oven to 190°C / 375°F. Rinse and drain the cauliflower florets. If you like a softer bake, blanch them in boiling water for 3–4 minutes, then drain well.
Sauté the vegetables
Melt the butter in a wide skillet. Add the onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until it softens. Stir in the celery and mushrooms; cook 4–5 minutes more until the mushrooms release their moisture and the pan looks mostly dry.
Season and combine
Add salt, black pepper, and the dried herbs. Toss in the cauliflower and gently mix so the florets stay intact.
Bake
Transfer everything to a small baking dish and level the top. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender and the edges are lightly browned.
Rest and serve
Let it sit for 5 minutes after baking. Serve warm; it pairs nicely with yogurt or a simple salad.
