Description

Parmesan Cauliflower Bites are a crispy, cheesy, low-carb snack or appetizer made with just five ingredients. Perfectly roasted and packed with flavor, they’re a gluten-free favorite for parties or healthy everyday munching.


Ingredients

  • 3 cups cauliflower florets (about 1 small head), washed and thoroughly dried
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Place cauliflower florets in a large bowl. Pour melted butter over them. Cover bowl and shake to coat evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, paprika, and black pepper.
  4. Sprinkle cheese mixture over cauliflower. Cover and shake again to evenly distribute.
  5. Arrange florets in a single layer on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, until edges are crispy.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Substitute Asiago or Romano for Parmesan for a different flavor.
  • Add panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch (note: not low-carb).
  • Garlic powder or cayenne can be added for flavor variation.
  • Best served fresh; to reheat, use oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
