Instructions:
Step 1
Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
Step 2
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Step 3
Add the cauliflower florets and boil for 3-4 minutes, just until slightly tender.
Step 4
Drain and rinse the cauliflower under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 8
Lightly brush the paper with vegetable oil.
Step 9
Dip each cauliflower floret into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off.
Step 10
Then, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
Step 11
Arrange the coated florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 12
Bake the cauliflower for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 13
The cheese should be melted, and the coating should be well-toasted.
Step 14
Allow the cauliflower to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 15
Enjoy it as a side dish or snack. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce like marinara, ranch, or yogurt dip for extra flavor.
