Oven Fried Cauliflower

I was in the mood for a crispy, crunchy, kind-of-decadent fried cauliflower last night, but I wasn’t in the mood for all the grease that usually comes with that. And I’d just cleaned the kitchen, so I didn’t want to deal with any fry spatter. I went with the oven fry option, and gave it some extra flavor by going a little heavy with the smoked paprika. Check out this super easy, super flavorful version of oven fried cauliflower.

Ingredients-

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

Olive oil cooking spray

1 cup panko breadcrumbs (use regular breadcrumbs if that’s all you have)

2 eggs

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 shake Adobo

Instructions-

1. Preheat oven to 400F

2. Spray the cauliflower with a mist of cooking spray

3. Combine the panko, eggs, paprika, salt, and adobo in a small bowl. Stir it up until it becomes like a paste.

4. Press the breadcrumb mixture into the cauliflower pieces, covering the crowns.

5. Line a baking tray and bake the cauliflower for 30-40 minutes.
