Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- salt and pepper, to taste
- your favourite spices or seasonings for extra flavour (such as garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning) (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station: one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the Panko breadcrumbs.
- Season the flour with salt, pepper, and any additional spices or seasonings of your choice, and mix well.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with Panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the breaded cauliflower florets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, remove the cauliflower bites from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
