Parmesan Cauliflower Bites

I saw this recipe on www.damndelicious.net and had to try it! I made both a fried version and a baked version and I think I liked the baked version best! This recipe is for a small head of cauliflower. If you have a medium or large you may want to double the panko and parmesan breading and use an extra egg. Be careful you dont use a seasoning salt, if you do only use 1/2 tsp or you will have super salty bites!

Parmesan Cauliflower Bites

1/2 cup veggie oil
1 cup panko crumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 Tblsp Emerils Essence Creole Seasoning (If you are using a different creole seasoning, make sure its not a seasoning salt! Or if thats all you can find only add 1/2 tsp or your bites will be too salty).
4 cups cauliflower florets
1/2 cup flower
2 large eggs, beaten

Heat veggie oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. If using oven, preheat to 425. In a large bowl, combine panko, parmesan and emerils essence; set aside.
 Working in batches, dredge cauliflower in flour, dip into eggs, then dredge in panko mixture, pressing to coat.
 If baking in oven, place battered cauliflower onto a lightly sprayed (with pam cooking spray) baking dish, spray top with a little cooking spray. Bake for 10-20 minutes, until desired softness. I dont like mine super soft.
 Add cauliflower to the skillet, 5 or 6 at a time and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Serve immediatly. EnJOY!
