Crispy Parmesan-Crusted Cauliflower Bites
Crunchy, cheesy, and perfectly seasonedcauliflower bites that are easy to make and delicious as a snack or side dish.
Ingredients
- 3 cups of cauliflower florets rinsed and completely dried (approximately from one small cauliflower head).
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or apply a light coat of oil to avoid sticking.
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
- Coat with Butter: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with the melted butter until they are evenly coated.
- Create the Parmesan Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the finely grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, and black pepper.
- Coat the Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the Parmesan mixture, tossing them gently to ensure they are fully coated with the cheese and spices. Make sure each floret is well covered for a deliciously crispy result.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower bites are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own as a deliciously crunchy snack!
