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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DNSA from Makes Cauliflower taste GREAT A wonderful way to make cauliflower taste..good! LoL! We are not a cauliflower loving family, but I'm always looking for ways to add more fruits and veggies to our tummies! So, I decided I would try this recipe, and to my astonishment...the whole family wanted more!! The cauliflower was golden brown and adding the ranch was perfect. We could hardly tell we were even eating vegetables. I will definitely be making this again.
