Chef's Tips

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.

You can blanch the cauliflower for 5 minutes before baking to speed up the cooking process.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice after baking for a brighter flavor.

To brown the breadcrumbs more, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully so they don't burn.
