Some things have to be fried to be delicious but not forking everything!  This baked crispy  cauliflower comes out so forking tasty you just might eat 1/2 a head or so. This cauliflower is very easy to prepare and taste like it might have been fried. For best results you need only thin coatings of dressing and crumbs and don’t make the cauliflower florets too forking big. Give them a try most people will like them because they are tasty and they aren’t too spicy.

Ingredients  about 8 servings

1 cauliflower cleaned and broken down into florets

1 cup panko bread crumbs (I used whole wheat panko)

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon celery seeds

1/2 cup hot sauce (I used Franks Red Hot)

1/2 cup low fat mayonnaise (mine was 15 calories a Tablespoon)

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1/8 teaspoon granulated garlic

1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika

pinch cardamon

Directions set oven to 350 degrees

You need a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

To one bowl add your panko, salt, cayenne and celery seeds

to another bowl mix up the hot sauce, mayonnaise, turmeric, garlic, paprika and pinch of cardamon and mix well.

Now take a piece of cauliflower and dip it in the sauce mix and shake off.

Now dip in crumb mixture and shake off

and place on lined baking sheet.  Repeat till done and place in your 350 degree oven.

After 45 minutes in my oven the cauliflower was crisp and tasty. They are good as is or you can make a dip for them.
