1 Egg-lightly beaten
.66 cup Breadcrumbs
.75 cup Cheddar cheese
.25 cup Mozarella cheese
.33 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 pinch of salt and pepper-to taste
Directions
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees and prepare two oven trays by lining with baking paper.
- Cut the cauliflower into quite small florets and pulse in a food processor until they look like rice.
- Put this cauliflower in a large mixing bowl, then add the breadcrumbs, egg, spices, herbs,, cheeses and both salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Using a spoon, scoop the mixture and shape it with your hands into nuggets, squeezing to get it to hold that shape. Lay on your prepared baking dish.
- To make the nuggets crispy, you can also spray with a little olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then turn them over (carefully) and cook for another five minutes or until gold.
