Crispy Cauliflower Munchies

ShareThe Crispy Baked Cauliflower has a nice blend of spices and they are really crispy. A great finger food and healthy snack.It has become such a hit in my house

Ingredients:
  • 4 cups cauliflowerets
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons cornflour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon chilli powder
  •  Coarse Bread crumbs
  • 2 egg whites(optional)
  • Red food colour(optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil
Blanch the cauliflowerets in salted boiling water for about 2mins.
Mix all the ingredients except the oil,cauliflower and bread crumbs.Add enough water to form a thick paste.
  Now add the cauliflowerets and coat the batter evenly.
Place on a baking sheet greased with oil/butter.
Preheated oven to 425F.
Add the bread crumbs and mix well just before arranging on to the baking tray.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes on both sides or until golden. Serve immediately.

The best part is that it almost fools you into thinking it's a carbohydrate, so I never have to make potatoes or rice when I cook this. It's a perfect side dish.


Enjoy! (And as always, send me your reviews!)

    Hi Anjum
    The pieces look so crispy and crunchy without being worried about to much oil. Very well made and presented.

    Anjum, I tried them last evening, did not come as good as it looks, but was still yummy, I didn't use eggs or food color. Thanks for sharing.

    I always wanted to bake cauliflower instead of deep frying. I was little hesitant as to how it would turn around. Now I can make it with full confidence.
    Thanks for sharing it.Will let you know how it came out.

    You have wonderful space with healthy dishes.
