  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower
  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch!)
  • 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika (optional, for a kick!)
  • 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt (for the garlic sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  2. Set up three bowls: one with breadcrumbs and Parmesan, one with whisked eggs, and one with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. Coat each cauliflower floret in the egg mixture, then roll in the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  5. Mix Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, and parsley to make the garlic sauce.
  6. Serve the baked cauliflower hot with the garlic sauce on the side.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs.
