Cauliflower Parmesan

Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 1 cup non-dairy milk (unsweetened)
• 3/4 cup almond flour
• 3/4 cup gluten free bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• marinara sauce (for garnish)
• vegan mozzarella (for garnish)
• fresh basil (chopped, for garnish)
• vegan parmesan (optional, for garnish)
• olive oil (to fry)
• olive oil spray

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425℉ and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Do not remove the outer leafs and stems from the cauliflower, as this will help keep the cauliflower slices intact while slicing. Slice the cauliflower into 1" steak-like shapes. You might have some extra irregular pieces of cauliflower, but no worries, we can still use those! Not all of the pieces will look the same.

3. 3

   Prepare two bowls:- Add the non-dairy milk to one bowl. - Add the almond flour, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder and black pepper to another bowl and whisk together until combined.

4. 4

   Dip each piece of cauliflower first into the non-dairy milk and then into the breading mixture and place on the lined baking sheet. Spray each piece with olive oil spray.

5. 5

   Bake for 25 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove the cauliflower from the oven. Add 3-4 tbsp of olive oil to a large frying pan over medium heat. Add each piece of baked cauliflower to the pan and lightly pan fry for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Once pan-fried, return the cauliflower back to the baking sheet and top with your favorite marinara sauce and vegan mozzarella cheese. Pop it back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt.

7. 7

   Garnish with fresh basil and vegan parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
