Crispy Parmesan-and-panko-crusted cauliflower develops a golden crust in the oven; it’s served over fluffy rice along with tangy Dijon-dressed greens, zippy pickled radishes, and a rich, creamy garlic sauce. This 35-minute vegetarian meal delivers satisfying crunch in every bite.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Cut cauliflower into bite-size pieces. Quarter lemon. Trim and halve radishes; thinly slice crosswise into half-moons.

Cook Rice
2
  • In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Roast Cauliflower
3
  • While rice cooks, toss cauliflower on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, Parmesan, panko, half the mayonnaise, half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper.

  • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 18-20 minutes.

Pickle Radishes
4
  • While cauliflower roasts, in a small microwave-safe bowl (medium microwave-safe bowl for 4 servings), combine ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4), juice from half the lemon, a pinch of salt, and a splash of water. 

  • Stir in radishes, then cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 1 minute.

  • Carefully remove plastic wrap and stir. Refrigerate until ready to use in Step 6.

Make Sauce
5
  • In a second small bowl, combine remaining mayonnaise, remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  • Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

Make Salad
6
  • When cauliflower has 5 minutes left, in a large bowl, whisk together mustard, 1 TBSP olive oil, ½ tsp sugar, juice from remaining lemon, salt, and pepper (2 TBSP olive oil and 1 tsp sugar for 4 servings).

  • Add mixed greens and half the pickled radishes (draining first); toss to combine.

Finish & Serve
7
  • Fluff rice with a fork.

  • Divide rice and salad between shallow bowls. Top rice with cauliflower. TIP: Make sure to include any crispy bits on the baking sheet!

  • Drizzle garlic sauce over cauliflower and rice. Garnish with remaining pickled radishes (draining first). Serve.

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: The Parmesan-panko cauliflower and garlic sauce were crowd-pleasers, and the overall flavor combination worked well 🎉. One reviewer found the purple cauliflower's flavor unfamiliar on first try.
  • Ease of prep: One reviewer suggested tossing the cauliflower thoroughly in oil and mayo before coating with the panko-cheese mixture for better, more even coverage.
  • Suggestions: Coat the cauliflower in oil and mayo first, then toss with the panko and Parmesan for a more even crust. Use the garlic sauce sparingly — a little goes a long way.
  • Portions: Several reviewers noted the cauliflower portion was very small, barely enough for one person; more cauliflower would better balance the rice and greens.
