Highlights & Tips
Cut the florets into bite size pieces. However don't cut them too small, they will end up becoming mushy and won't crisp up once baked.
​
Place the florets in the bowl of batter and coat well then toss them in a colander to drain the excess batter on the cauliflower.
​
You can bake the bites on parchment paper over a cookie sheet. Spray the sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
​
Turn the florets halfway through the cooking process so each side is brown and crisp. These snacks are best served if baked right before serving.
