Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
Place the coated cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the cauliflower halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or spicy mayo.
You can adjust the seasonings to suit your taste.
These are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven for crispiness.
