This recipe was developed by Heather Staller, a mom of two boys, ages 5 and 3, and cooking instructor specializing in bringing cooking into preschool classrooms. After college, Heather knew she wanted to be a teacher, but first followed her lifelong dream of going to culinary school. Teaching cooking combines both of her passions, and she truly enjoys introducing young children to the joys of cooking with fresh ingredients.

Shake 'n' Bake Cauliflower

Ingredients
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into medium size florets
  • 2 eggs (or egg replacer powder or flax meal with additional milk or water)
  • 1/4cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cup whole wheat or regular Panko breadcrumbs (or substitute gluten free breadcrumbs)
  • 3/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or aluminum foil.
  2. Crack eggs into a bowl, add milk, and whisk with a fork to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
  3. In a large zip-top bag (or in a large bowl), add breadcrumbs, cornmeal, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Shake bag around a little to combine then drizzle oil over mixture and shake again.
  4. Set up an “assembly line” with cauliflower florets, egg mixture, and breadcrumb mixture in a row in that order. Working with a few florets at a time, dip cauliflower into the egg mixture, let the excess drip off, then place into the breadcrumbs. Once you have done 4 to 5 pieces of cauliflower, seal the bag well then shake to coat the cauliflower in the crumbs. Open bag then place each piece of coated cauliflower on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake cauliflower until crunchy and  golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
