Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup of breadcrumbs (panko works best for that extra crunch)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil spray or cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the cauliflower: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Set up your breading station: In one bowl, beat the two eggs. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan until well combined.
- Dip and coat: Dip each cauliflower floret into the egg mixture first, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Spray for crispiness: Lightly spray the coated florets with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve and enjoy: Pair with your favorite dipping sauce.
