Low-Carb Gluten-Free Breaded Cauliflower

Ingredients:

• Gluten-free olive oil spray
• 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste (lots of pepper for heat)
• 1/2 cup high-protein gluten-free flour (I use oat flour) (or 1/4 Parmesan cheese, for crispness)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional) - omit for Parmesan version
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional) - omit for Parmesan version
• Paprika, for color (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with silicon baking mats or parchment paper, and generously coat them with gluten-free olive oil spray.
2. Distribute the cauliflower in a single layer between the baking sheets. Lightly spray them with olive oil spray and season with salt and pepper.
3. Bake for 30 minutes on the center shelf of the oven, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy around the edges. Turn over the cauliflower and rotate the pans halfway through baking.
4. Combine the flour with the garlic, onion powder, if using.
5. Scatter the flour mixture or Parmesan cheese in a baking dish. Add the paprika, if using. Gently toss the roasted cauliflower in the flour mixture. Return to the baking sheets and the oven, and bake an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown.
