Crispy Cauliflower
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (panko works great)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2–3 tablespoons oil (for baking or air frying)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the cauliflower florets.
- Season the flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each cauliflower piece into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Place on a lined baking tray or in an air fryer basket. Lightly drizzle or spray with oil.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy, or air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Optional: Toss the crispy cauliflower with buffalo sauce, honey garlic sauce, or a sprinkle of Parmesan for extra flavor.
