Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

- Drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss until well coated.
- In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Add the breadcrumb mixture to the cauliflower and toss again to ensure even coating.
Cooking
- Spread the coated cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, checking halfway through and giving it a shake.
- While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the herb sauce by combining mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped herbs, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Mix well.
