Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crispiness)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare the cauliflower florets.
- In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each floret into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
