Preparation of Oven and Baking Sheet: Initiate the process by preheating the oven to a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Concurrently, line a baking sheet with a silicone mat to ensure non-stick properties and ease of cleanup.

Arranging the Cauliflower: Distribute the cauliflower florets evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Utilize a pastry brush to apply the melted butter thoroughly over each floret. This not only imparts flavor but also facilitates an even roasting. Season liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to taste preferences.
-
Roasting Process: Insert the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Allow the cauliflower to roast undisturbed for 30 minutes. After this initial period, carefully turn each floret to ensure uniform color and texture. Continue to roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower achieves a tender consistency and a golden appearance. This dual-phase roasting method ensures optimal texture and depth of flavor.
