Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon thyme
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • Pinch oregano
  • Pinch garlic powder
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch black pepper
  • 4 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten

Instructions

  • Blanch the cauliflower pieces by adding them to a pot of well-salted, boiling water for about 30-45 seconds just until crisp-tender.
  • Drain, then place them in cold water for about 30 seconds to cool.
  • Dry with paper towel and set aside for a moment.
  • In a medium size bowl, combine Breadcrumbs, parmesan, thyme, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and set aside.
  • Sift flour in a second bowl, and beat the eggs in a third bowl.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  • Working in batches, add the blanched cauliflower pieces to the bowl with the flour, and very gently shake to coat the pieces well.
  • Next, add the floured pieces to the bowl with the beaten eggs, then add the pieces to the bowl with the parmesan mixture, pressing to coat.
  • Add cauliflower to the skillet, 5 or 6 at a time, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Serve immediately.
