Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until you have a smooth batter.
Place the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it in the breadcrumbs to cover.
Place the breaded cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil over the cauliflower to help it crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through baking.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is.
