Ranch Roasted Cauliflower

Drescription

Ranch-roasted cauliflower is a bold, flavorful side dish that brings out the natural sweetness of cauliflower combined with an herb-packed coating. Garlic, onion and dill add a savory punch, while an optional squeeze of lemon offers a brighter flavor. Ranch-roasted cauliflower pairs with just about anything, and the versatile coating can work with other veggies like carrots, broccoli or Brussels sprouts.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups cauliflower florets
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as chives, dill and flat-leaf parsley)
  • lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in center position. Toss 6 cups cauliflower with ¼ cup ranch dressing, 1 teaspoon dill, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon pepper and ¼ teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet; spread into a single layer.
  2. Roast, stirring once halfway through, until tender and golden brown, about 16 minutes. If desired for more browning, increase oven temperature to broil and broil until browned, about 2 more minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon herbs. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
