Baked Breaded Cauliflower Florets
First up, let’s take a look at what we’re working with:
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to whip this up:
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko works great for extra crunch!)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil, for drizzling
Now that we have our ingredients, let’s get cookin’!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Get that heat cranked up so we can get our cauliflower nice and crispy!
- In one bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the flour mixture, then the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mix. Make sure they’re well-coated for that perfect crunch!
- Place the breaded florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray or drizzle a little olive oil over them to help them get golden and crispy.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.
- Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They pair perfectly with your favorite dipping sauce!
And there you have it! These Baked Breaded Cauliflower Florets are sure to be a hit whether you’re serving them at a gathering or just keeping them all to yourself. Enjoy every crispy, tasty bite!
