Meet your favorite new side dish! This easy baked breaded cauliflower recipe is a family favorite and super easy with just a few ingredients! They taste fried, but are baked!
Getting my kids to eat vegetables is often a chore, even into their tween years. While it does getting better, picky eating I have learned over the years is just who they are.
So you could imagine my surprise when they gobbled this Baked Breaded Cauliflower Recipe right up. I mean, my husband and I have to fight them for some when I make this! How crazy is that?
Over Christmas when we visited Dollywood with my in-laws, my Sister-in-Law made a delicious fried cauliflower side dish that my mother-in-law used to make. It was a lot of work and a lot of frying!
This Baked Breaded Cauliflower is baked in the oven, has no eggs and only a little bit of oil. Making it not only easy, but much healthier too.
This recipe couldn’t get any easier either. You literally chop the cauliflower, place the florets into a resealable bag, season and coat and bake on a baking sheet.
