Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut the 1 head cauliflower into florets and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Roast for 25-30 minutes, until florets are tender and browned at the edges, shaking the pan halfway through.
Step 3
While cauliflower roasts, melt 2 tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tbsp flour and cook for 1 minute until bubbly.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in 1.5 cups milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from heat and stir in 1.5 cups shredded cheddar until melted and smooth. Season with extra salt and pepper if you like.
Step 6
Pour the cheese sauce over the roasted cauliflower and toss gently to coat. Return to the oven for 5 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
Step 7
Sprinkle with fresh dill before serving.
