A healthier alternative to fried cauliflower that will surprise you with its taste and crispiness.

For 4 serving

Ingredients

1 small head of cauliflower
plain flour for coating
1 egg
1 teaspoon mustard
1 clove of garlic (or a pinch of dried garlic)

breadcrumbs and grated cheese in a 2:1 ratio

oil for brushing
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
a pinch of salt

Preparation procedure

Cauliflower preparation: Divide the cauliflower into smaller florets. Do not boil the cauliflower; it will remain firm and tasty.
Coating: First coat each floret in plain flour. In a bowl, mix the egg, pressed garlic, salt and mustard. Coat each floret in this mixture. Finally, coat the florets in the mixture of breadcrumbs and grated cheese.
Baking: Grease a baking tray with oil and place the coated florets on it. Lightly brush each floret with oil mixed with sweet paprika.
Oven: Bake in an oven preheated to 200 °C for approximately 30–40 minutes. During baking, turn the florets once so they brown evenly.
Serving: Serve the finished cauliflower as a healthier alternative to fried cauliflower – it goes great with a yogurt dip or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your meal! 😊
