Steps (3)

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Scatter cauliflower florets evenly over a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast for about 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking time, until the florets are browned in spots and cooked through.
2

While the cauliflower is cooking, melt the butter in a skillet set over medium heat. When it is just beginning to brown and smell nutty, add the panko crumbs and the Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix Shaker. Cook, stirring frequently, until crumbs are golden brown and toasty, 5-7 minutes.
3

Remove the cauliflower from the oven and top with the breadcrumbs. Garnish with parsley, if using. Serve for dipping with Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dressing or your favorite dip.
