Roasted Ranch Broccoli

1 head of broccoli, cut into small florets
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 envelope of dry Ranch dressing mix
1/4 C grated or shredded Parmesan cheese

Toss cauliflower with olive oil.  Sprinkle with Ranch dressing mix and Parmesan and toss again.  Spread cauliflower onto a foil-covered and greased cookie sheet or jelly roll pan.  Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 25-35 minutes (or until cauliflower pieces are lightly browned), stirring/turning florets halfway through baking time.

Options and Tips:

• If you want to make this side dish even healthier, leave out the Parmesan cheese.
• If you're not a fan of Ranch flavor, just substitute dry Italian dressing for the Ranch.
• Baking time will depend on how crispy you want your cauliflower, as well as how small your florets are.
