Ingredients
- 300 g Cauliflower cut into bite sized florets
- 4 tablespoon Light mayonnaise
- 20 g Parmesan finely grated
- 50 g Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
- Put florets of 300 g Cauliflower into a mixing bowl and add 4 tablespoon Light mayonnaise. Mix so that the florets are coated.
- In a separate bowl, combine 20 g Parmesan, 50 g Panko breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper and 1 tablespoon Olive oil. Mix well.
- Add the breadcrumb mix to the cauliflower and mix so that the florets are coated in the seasoned breadcrumb.
- Transfer to a lined baking tray and cook for 25 minutes. When cooked, serve with more Parmesan.
Notes
- Don't overcrowd the pan, otherwise it will all start to steam, rather than roast and it won't get crispy which is what we are aiming for.
- You can leave the Parmesan out if you prefer, but the nuggets won't be as crispy.
- You could do a mixture of cauliflower and broccoli if you wanted something different.
- Panko breadcrumbs can be swapped for regular breadcrumbs.
