What a great new idea to serve cauliflower. I had to guess at the quantity for this as I thought 3 eggs was too much for dipping. I used one egg instead and a handful of Parmesan cheese to mix with the panko. I also added a bit more cayenne and then baked them on a cookie sheet for about 25 minutes @ 350 degrees. A keeper for sure.

Hello! If you are cooking these in an air fryer, it should be set to 400 degrees. You then cook your prepared cauliflower for 7-8 minutes, or until they're golden. Hope this was helpful!

I love fried, crispy appetizers. This looks like a version I could feel pretty good about.

Delicious! once the coating mixture becomes damp, it's hard to get it it adhere to the pieces of cauliflower.

Hello! - Yes, you could bake the cauliflower at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, or until crispy brown. Enjoy!
