- Preheat oven to 425ºF and spread cauliflower in the bottom of a lightly greased 9×11 oven-safe baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Roast for 10 minutes. Stir cauliflower and roast 10 minutes longer. Remove cauliflower from oven and set aside.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a sauté pan. Gradually whisk in flour to create a roux. Slowly add milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Stir in thyme, dried onion, salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, until sauce is thick.
- Turn heat off and stir in parmesan, gruyere and cheddar cheese until completely melted.
- Pour cheese sauce evenly over cauliflower. Stir together melted butter, panko, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle panko mixture over cheese sauce and bake for 5-7 minutes or until panko is golden brown. Serve hot, topped with chives.

THE STORY OF SOY SAUCE
Even people who love soy sauce and use it all the time are often surprised to learn what it is and how it’s made. We make ours from just four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
