Veggies can make some of the yummiest appetizers. When I’m trying to eat healthier, I always make sure to bake any potential veggie dishes so that they’re roasted instead of fried. With just a few simple spices, you can turn any veggie into something special.
INGREDIENTS
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
¾ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
Marinara sauce, for dipping
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, place the eggs. In a medium bowl, combine the panko, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
3. Dip the cauliflower into the beaten eggs, then roll in the panko-cheese mixture to fully coat the florets.
4. Place on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Serve with the marinara sauce.
