Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko recommended for extra crunch)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil spray (or 2 tablespoons olive oil)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare Cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until the florets are evenly coated.

      Prepare Breading Station: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

        Coat the Cauliflower: Dip each cauliflower floret into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, roll it in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture until fully coated. Repeat with all florets.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated cauliflower bites on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even baking.

            Bake: Spray the tops lightly with olive oil or drizzle with a small amount of olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your crispy Parmesan cauliflower bites as a delightful snack or appetizer!
