Notes
This cauliflower can be served as a side dish or an appetizer along with a dipping sauce, like Ranch.
This breading method prevents the coating mixture from falling off the cauliflower pieces. You can also pour the melted butter over cauliflower bites in a bowl and toss gently to coat. Then sprinkle with breading mixture and stir to coat. Bake as instructed in the recipe above.
