| 7⅚ cups | Cauliflower, raw | |
| 3 (ea. 1.76 oz) | Egg, large | |
| 4 cups | Pork Rinds, Scratchings, Greaves, Cracklings | |
| ½ cup | Parmigiano Reggiano, Parmesan cheese, grated | |
| ¾ tsp | Italian Seasoning Spice Mix | |
| 38.82 oz | altogether (view nutrition facts) |
Preparation
- Serving size:6.50 oz (calculated)Notes: 1 1/3 cup of cauliflower bites
- Temperature: 400 °F (preheated, circulating air)
- Blend the pork rinds or crush them in a ziplock bag. For 6 servings, you should get about 1 1/2 cups of blended pork rinds.
- Combine the crushed pork rinds with the finely grated parmesan and Italian seasoning. Optionally add other spices. Be careful with adding salt, though, as the pork rinds and parmesan add salt already.
- Whisk the eggs and break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
- Dip each floret in the whisked egg, then coat it with the "breading". The coating should stick nicely to the florets, else lightly press it onto the cauliflower.
- Alternatively, simply toss all of the cauliflower in the whisked egg and then coat each floret with the breading individually. If the egg gathers in the bottom, simply toss the cauliflower again, so that it's nicely coated with egg.
- Place the coated florets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper (for easier cleanup). 6 servings will fill 2 or 3 baking trays.
- Bake until golden brown and crunchy, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Serve as a side, optionally sprinkled with freshly chopped parsley. It also goes really well with marinara sauce for dipping.
- You can store the dish in an airtight container for 5 days in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer. For best results, thaw overnight in the fridge. It's best to reheat the bites in the oven, so they stay crisp, but you can also microwave them or reheat them in a pan on the stovetop.
