Categories Appetizer Bake Cauliflower

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3-4 cups cauliflower florets
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (or switch / combine with another salty cheese)
1 cup panko crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil (or use olive oil spray if you have it)
salt & pepper to taste
Optional
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

1. Cook cauliflower until just crisp-tender. Stovetop steaming takes about 6-8 minutes, or cook it in the microwave for about 4 minutes. Allow cauliflower to cool until it's safe to touch. 2. Preheat oven to 450Â°f. 3. Combine flour, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Coat the cauliflower in this dry mixture by sifting it over a layer of florets flipping them and coating the other side. 4. Combine the panko crumbs and the shredded cheese and pour it onto a tray or dish. Dip the floured cauliflower florets in the mixed egg, then dredge them in the panko/cheese mix, pressing them so that the crumbs stick. 5. Arrange the florets in a single layer on a tinfoil lined baking sheet, then drizzle or spray them with olive oil. Bake in preheated oven for 5-10 minutes until they start to brown up.
