This recipe for baked cauliflower is a healthy alternative to frying. Cauliflower is cut up and tossed in a batter made with milk, flour, oil and salt. Then the coated cauliflower is tossed with a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Next the cauliflower is spread onto a baking sheet and baked until golden. The finished cauliflower has a crunchy coating and is a great substitute to frying.
