Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400˚F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the eggs in a small mixing bowl and whisk. Set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl combine panko crumbs, parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, rosemary, salt, and pepper; mix until well incorporated.
  • Dip cauliflower florets in the eggs, then roll in the crumb mixture until completely coated.
    Continue the process with the rest of the florets and transfer them to the previously prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy.
  • Remove from oven and let stand few minutes.
  • Serve with marinara sauce.

Notes

  • Cut Cauliflower Florets Roughly the Same Size: Doing this ensures that you won't end up with some florets overdone and some underdone when you roast them in the oven.
  • Add Different Spices: If you like adding spice to your foods, add in a little cayenne or smoked paprika.
  • Prep Ahead: Chop the cauliflower ahead of time, and mix the breadcrumb mixture a few days ahead.
  • Air Fryer: Make these in the air fryer following my popular recipe for Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Bites!
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for 2 days.
