Remove leaves and stalks from the head of cauliflower.

Cut out about an inch and a half from the core of the cauliflower using the tip of a knife.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the cauliflower in the middle.

Sprinkle the cauliflower with salt and black pepper.

Roast the cauliflower in a 400°F (204°C) oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, covered, to help it cook evenly.

Prepare a coating by mixing 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, and fresh thyme leaves.

Brush the coating over the top of the partially cooked cauliflower.

Return the cauliflower to the oven and cook until golden brown and tender, about 20 to 25 more minutes.

Prepare the brown butter sauce by combining brown butter, chopped hazelnuts, and lemon juice.

Serve the cauliflower by cutting it into planks or wedges and drizzling with the brown butter sauce.
