Ingredients
  

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

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs, beaten

3 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, combine cauliflower florets with olive oil, tossing to coat evenly.

      Season the Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

        Coat the Florets: Dip each cauliflower floret into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated cauliflower bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

            Bake: Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy warm!
