Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 1 medium head cauliflower (about 2 lb / 1 kg), cut into bite-sized florets
  • 7 oz breadcrumbs (panko recommended for extra crunch)
  • 2.5 oz (80g) Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 5 g arlic cloves, minced
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Flour, for dredging

Instructions

  • Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Bring a pot of water to a boil, season generously with salt, and blanch the cauliflower for about 5 minutes. Drain well and pat the florets completely dry.
  • In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, olive oil, minced garlic, basil, oregano, and parsley. Mix until evenly coated and slightly crumbly.
  • Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • Working with one floret at a time, lightly coat it in flour, dip it into the egg, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture until well covered.
  • Arrange the coated cauliflower in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C / 350°F until golden and crispy on the edges. Smaller florets will take about 15 to 20 minutes, while larger pieces may need up to 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
