Delicious! I added a bit of cayenne to the cauliflower, and it was great. I was able to have 2 large slides, and a small one but as mentioned before the rest sort of crumbled so I saved them for another recipe.

The old recipe for this on the delish website I found a link to on Pinterest had you trying them and then only baking them for 5 minutes this recipe is much better

Just a warning to everyone, you only get two slices from a head of cauliflower, as the ends just crumble when you slice them... I just roasted the crumbles along with the slices... Turned out great!

ok, so I confess I flour/egged/breadcrumbed the steaks and shallow fried them before adding sauce and parmesan and it was the BOMB !  The texture of the cauliflower was awesome.  Next time, I'll do it healthier without the frying.  Word of caution, you have to slice the cauliflower thick, like about 1.5 inches, or else it will all fall apart into florets.  Gotta do it thick to have it all stay together.  I wasted 1/2 a head before I got it right.  XD

Making this tonight I know we will love it, when not eating chicken seems like good option after eggplant parmigiana and lasagna.

This was so good! I'm honestly wondering if tomorrow is too soon to make it again...

Parmesan Cauliflower Bites

c. panko bread crumbs (or regular bread crumbs)

c. Parmesan

Italian seasoning

eggs,

Marinara,

What's your favorite way to eat cauliflower?

Preheat oven to 400°.&nbsp;Add panko, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then mix everything together until thoroughly combined.

Dip cauliflower pieces in egg and then roll in bread crumb mixture until fully coated and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You may need to press on the coating to help it stick to the cauliflower bites. Repeat until all cauliflower florets are&nbsp;coated.

Bake for 20 to&nbsp;25 minutes, until coating is golden brown and crunchy. Serve with marinara.

So I made these but the coating did not stick onto the cauliflower..how the heck do you guys get it to stay on. I did pat it on with my hands and it would not stick. The crumbs just clumped up.
So I ended just putting little piles of crumb on each cauliflower floret. It tasted good but I know this was not what the recipe intended. 
Any ideas on getting the crumb to stay on.And yes, I did remember put it in egg first.

OMG! These were delicious! Dipped them in Sweet Baby Ray's Creamy Buffalo sauce! My husband couldn't stop eating them!!

Your Next Party Needs a Low-Calorie App Like These Parmesan Cauliflower Bites.

This Cauliflower Parmesan is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and full of flavor!

flour, I used AP flour

almond milk

onion powder, divided

garlic powder

salt, divided

herbs de Provence

panko breadcrumbs, about 1 cup

cheese, mozzarella cheese

marinara sauce

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with a non-stick mat or parchment paper.  Carefully cut cauliflower into four similar sized steaks.  See above for tips on that.  In a medium sized bowl, add the flour 1/4 teaspoon salt, garlic powder and onion powder and almond milk.  Whisk until a thick batter is formed.

Pour the Panko, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and garlic powder and dried herbs onto a large plate and mix until combined.  Carefully place the cauliflower steak in the batter and use your hands to make sure that the entire steak is coated with batter.  There is just enough batter for four steaks so you want it to be a thin coat.

Place the batter coated cauliflower steak in the panko and coat.  You can press it down and then sprinkle some on top.  Shake off any excess and then place on the baking sheet.  Repeat process until finished.

Bake cauliflower until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and starting to brown, 30-40 minutes.  Remove from the oven and top each with 1/4 cup tomato sauce and a small sprinkle of cheese.  Place back in the oven and bake another 5-7 minutes, until cheese is melted.

I am learning to cook for our vegetarian grandson. We both liked this recipe BUT would like to see the flavor/seasoning stronger
when getting to the stem. After slicing the "steaks", I thought I might prick the stem with a fork and infuse it with some Italian dressing a hour before coating and baking. What do you think? I used fresh mozzarella cheese in slices and it was delicious. I look forward to trying more of your recipes.
Thank you. 
P.S. love to do appetizers and may use this recipe without the stems and for the last 5-7 minutes, drizzle my homemade marinara over them and sprinkle with cheese before popping it back in the oven. Then sprinkle with fresh basil and serve with toothpicks!  I am grateful for your recipe and look forward to learning more.

This baked cauliflower parmesan is seasoned and covered in saucy marinara, topped with bubbly cheese and garlic butter breadcrumbs.

italian seasoning

salt and pepper

mozzarella cheese, (sliced)

parmesan cheese, (for topping)

fresh basil, (for topping)

unsalted butter

garlic clove, (minced

panko bread crumbs

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Slice the cauliflower from the top down, into 1-inch thick slices. Place the cauliflower on a baking sheet. Drizzle or brush with the olive oil so it covers the slices. Sprinkle with the italian seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper all over. Roast the cauliflower for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, spoon the marinara over the cauliflower. Place a slice of the fresh mozzarella on top. Bake for 15 more minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Remove the cauliflower and top with the breadcrumbs, fresh basil and a sprinkle of parmesan.

Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the garlic, cook for a few seconds, then stir in the bread crumbs. Cook, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes until golden.

garlic butter breadcrumbs

This Cauliflower Parmesan recipe uses fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and provolone to create a flavorful main dish that isn&#039;t just for vegetarians!

Cauliflower Parmesan Recipe

Tbsp olive oil (0.57)

garlic powder (0.02)

Italian seasoning blend (0.52)

salt (0.01)

½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper (0.04)

tomatoes,*

mozzarella cheese, divided into ¼ cup portions (1.12)

provolone cheese (1.44)

Preheat

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning blend, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Set aside.

Cut the head of cauliflower from the top of the head where the florets are located to the bottom of the stem into 4 thick “steaks”. Your steaks that don&#39;t contain the actual stem might fall apart, but that&#39;s ok! They can be grouped together, and the upcoming steps will help keep them together.

Brush

Brush 2 Tbsp of herb oil mixture on all sides of cauliflower steaks. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Layer

On top of each cauliflower steak, add 2-3 slices of tomatoes. This is an important step, as the tomatoes will add great flavor and moisture and they will keep the cheeses from melting off the cauliflower, through the holes and cooking onto the baking sheet.

Sprinkle

On top of the tomato slices, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly among 4 servings.

Then, top each portion with 2 slices of provolone cheese per cauliflower steak.

Bake

Bake the cauliflower in the oven for 40 minutes, or until fork tender.**

Haven't made this yet, but reading the recipe indicates it's seriously yummy. I like that you point out that many plant based proteins intended to simulate meat are ultraprocessed and filled with chemicals few of us want to consume. Simple vegetables are delicious, less expensive, nutrient loaded, and completely satisfying. I also like the fact that the mild and sweet cauliflower isn't breaded, so fat and carbs are cut to a minimum while the cheese (fat there, but we do need some) ups the protein--not empty calories and a good choice for folks on low carb diets. I plan to pick up a cauliflower tomorrow and use this alternative to my family fave eggplant parm--which is absolutely higher carb and fat. We are omnivores/carnivores, but eat meatless 2-3 days a week--only because we like our veggies and they fit our budget best. If we had to sacrifice taste, it wouldn't happen. Thanks, Jess, for another great idea!
