Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- 1 as needed Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil cooking spray.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the unsweetened almond milk, whisking until well combined.
In a third bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs and the grated Parmesan cheese, if using.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat them with breadcrumb mixture, making sure the florets are fully covered.
Place the coated cauliflower florets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer ensuring they don’t touch each other for even cooking.
Lightly spray the cauliflower with olive oil cooking spray, which helps them to crisp up nicely.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the breading is golden brown and crispy, flipping the florets halfway through the baking process.
Once baked, remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
