Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
3 1/2 oz. finely grated Parmesan (about 1 cup)
2 1/2 oz. coarsely grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 1 cup)
2 Tbsp. plus 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
4 large heads of cauliflower, cored, outer leaves removed

Roast, tossing veggies and rotating sheets from top to bottom halfway through, until tender and browned, 45-55 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly. Transfer to a platter. Top with reserved crumble and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
  • Do Ahead: Uncrumbled panko mixture can be baked 1 day ahead. Wrap baking sheet with plastic and store at room temperature.
