Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until smooth to create the batter.
In a separate shallow dish, combine the nutritional yeast and panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the flour batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat for all florets, ensuring they are evenly spaced on the sheet.
Drizzle olive oil evenly over the breaded cauliflower florets to help them crisp and brown.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the breading is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite vegan dipping sauce or as a side dish.
