1 large cauliflower
02 -
35g breadcrumbs
03 -
50g grated parmesan
04 -
1 tsp salt
05 -
1 clove fresh garlic
06 -
1 tsp cayenne pepper
07 -
2 tbsp dried mixed herbs
08 -
2 eggs
09 -
6 tbsp milk
10 -
1 tbsp barbecue sauce
11 -
A bit of olive oil
→ Curry Sauce
12 -
2 tbsp cream cheese
13 -
1 tbsp thick sour cream
14 -
2 tsp mild curry powder
15 -
1 tbsp mustard
16 -
A pinch of salt and pepper
# Instructions:
01 -
Grate the parmesan and crush the garlic. Toss them together with the breadcrumbs, salt, cayenne, pepper, and dried herbs. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish.
02 -
Break the cauliflower into florets and cook them for 8-10 minutes, leaving a slight crunch. Drain them and cool down quickly under cold water to stop them from cooking more.
03 -
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and barbecue sauce until smooth.
04 -
Dip each cooked floret into some flour first, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the parmesan crumb mix. Make sure it's well-coated all around.
05 -
Lay the coated florets on a parchment-lined baking tray. Drizzle olive oil over them to make them extra crispy. Pop them into a preheated oven at 200°C with the fan setting, baking for 20 minutes or so until golden brown.
06 -
Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, curry powder, and mustard in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper for taste.
07 -
Enjoy the golden cauliflower bites straight away with the curry dipping sauce on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
These crispy cauliflower bites are a game-changer, even for those who usually skip veggies.
02 -
Don’t overcook the florets; they should stay slightly firm before baking.
03 -
Feel free to add more or less cayenne based on how spicy you want it.
04 -
Perfect as a quick snack, a starter, or a side dish.
