Crispy, oven-baked cauliflower bites coated in Parmesan cheese, perfect for a healthy appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil until evenly coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the cauliflower to the cheese mixture and toss until each floret is well coated.
  5. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can bake for a few extra minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Consider serving with a side of marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
  • These bites are a great alternative to fried snacks and fit well into a meal planning strategy for healthy eating.
