Oven-Roasted Cauliflower Caesar Delight

Ingredients

- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to allow it to fully heat up while you prep your cauliflower.

2. Prepare the cauliflower: Rinse the cauliflower and pat it dry. Cut it into bite-sized florets, ensuring all pieces are relatively the same size for even roasting.

3. Season the cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, Caesar dressing, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss until all florets are evenly coated.

4. Arrange on a baking sheet: Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

5. Roast the cauliflower: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about PT25M (25 minutes). Toss the florets midway through roasting to ensure even browning.

6. Add the finishing touches: After 25 minutes, remove the cauliflower from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top.

7. Final roast: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional PT5M (5 minutes), or until the cauliflower is golden brown and the breadcrumbs are crispy.

8. Garnish and serve: Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving warm as a delightful dinner side.
