Ingredients:
- 1 medium cauliflower head, cut into florets
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed)
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil spray
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a batter.
- Place the breadcrumbs in another bowl.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Then, coat the cauliflower floret with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the coated cauliflower florets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Lightly spray the cauliflower florets with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve your crunchy vegan cauliflower bites with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own as a tasty snack or appetizer!
