Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the florets.
Sprinkle the almond flour over the seasoned cauliflower and toss again to ensure a light, crispy coating on the florets.
Spread the coated cauliflower bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through baking to ensure even crisping.
If desired, drizzle with hot sauce during the last 5 minutes of baking for an extra layer of spicy flavor.
Once cooked, remove the cauliflower bites from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy as a snack, appetizer, or side!
