Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Low sodium breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
In a third bowl, mix the low sodium breadcrumbs with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and ground black pepper.
Dredge each cauliflower floret in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
Dip the floret into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Coat the floret in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded florets onto the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tops of the cauliflower with olive oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
