A side dish that is tied to my family's tradition is fried cauliflower florets. Over time, I modified the cooking method to cut calories by switching from frying to baking, while keeping all the steps my dear mom taught me ❤

Steps

1 hour

1

Clean the cauliflower, cut the florets, wash them, and steam them to retain all the flavor.
2

Once cooked, let the florets cool. Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and finely chopped parsley.
3

Dredge the florets in flour, then dip them in the beaten egg, and finally coat them with breadcrumbs mixed with a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese.
4

Brush a baking sheet with oil, place all the cauliflower florets on it, brush each floret with oil, and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes. Then switch to the grill function until the florets are slightly browned.
