Roasted Ranch Cauliflower & Dip
HELLO, you PERFECT lil’ FLAVOR-Packed Veggie with ranch on the side for an extra little something!
We start with our beautiful florets and toss them in our quick homemade ranch – giving them time to bathe in the ranch (the more time the better – they like taking their time) then its into a hot oven or air fryer. The cauliflower florets become perfectly roasted all while soaking up the ranch flavor. It’s simple, but a classic winning flavor combination.
You may already have many of these ingredients at home, so check your spice cabinet & fridge really quick, then make yourself an incredible treat using one of MY favorite veggies – the amazing (chameleon of vegetables) CAULIFLOWER!
I ABSOLUTELY adore and CRAVE roasted cauliflower! This roasted ranch-coated cauliflower is an elevated version that will delight ranch lovers! It’s crispy on the outside, seasoned to perfection, and surprisingly hearty!
The ranch sauce is a very welcome addition and turns these roasted cauliflower florets into a CRAVEWORTHY snack food while being covert healthy!
Roasted Ranch Cauliflower is an excellent side dish or appetizer/party snack. Consider doubling the recipe (use two separate sheet pans so they still crisp up), there never seems to be enough of these delicious small bites.
For Meal Prep:
Place your leftovers into glass food prep containers in the fridge to reheat for future meals throughout the week. Cauliflower reheats very well in an air fryer.
Store sauce separately. I recommend storing this dish in the fridge for 2-3 days max.
💡Cauliflower has a lot going for it.
Not only is it one of the most versatile veggies, but it also contains some of every vitamin you need, as well as a healthy dose of fiber.
💦 Not bad for a veggie that’s 92% water!
💪🏾 Cauliflower is rich in antioxidants, low in carbs and calories… PLUS it has protective qualities to guard against cancer and heart disease! It’s also a good source of choline, which helps your metabolism, cell health, and supports many processes in your body.
✅ Because of its mild taste, it can be added to a number of recipes to replace less nutrient-dense, higher-carb ingredients.
👩🏾🍳 It can be used a ton of different ways in your meals – steamed or roasted, turned into “rice,” mashed like potato, or even shredded and used in bread and pizza crust!
