Cauliflower bites are the perfect easy side dish, snack, or appetizer! They’re super easy to make and packed with incredible flavor. On top of that, they’re light and low-carb.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 tbsp melted butter unsalted
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 tsp paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley leaves optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with butter or olive oil. Set aside.
- Add cauliflower florets to a large bowl and drizzle with melted butter. Toss well until florets are well coated.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese, paprika, salt and pepper over the butter-coated cauliflower florets. Mix all the ingredients together to combine.
- Arrange cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes or until edges begin to crisp.
Notes
- You can buy pre-cut cauliflower to save time on prepping.
- Dry cauliflower very well and wring out extra moisture with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.
- For best results, shred a block of fresh parmesan cheese.
- Don't overcrowd your baking sheet. Leave a little space between florets when roasting.
- To store: Store leftover cauliflower bites in an airtight glass container for up to 4 days in the fridge. You can also use a silicone or Ziploc bag to store them.
- To reheat: Reheat in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds. You can also reheat in the oven, toaster oven or an air fryer at 400°F (I prefer these methods over the microwave as bites will get crispy again).
- To freeze: Transfer the cauliflower bites to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
