How To Make panko crusted cauliflower bites

• Step 1
  I make this recipe in an air fryer at 350 F on a wire tray/basket But if using a conventional oven, preheat to 425 F.
• Step 2
  Cut the cauliflower into small bite-size pieces. You'll need about 1/2 a cauliflower, or two cups. Set aside.
• Step 3
  In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, paprika, salt, pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon of the oregano. (Rub the oregano between your hands to grind it up a little). Whisk until smooth. Set aside.
• Step 4
  In a shallow bowl, combine the panko and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of oregano (rub the oregano between your hands to grind it up a little). Season to taste with salt and pepper, but remember you already salted the egg wash.
• Step 5
  Dip a piece of cauliflower in the egg wash, coating completely. Dredge it in the panko mixture until completely covered. Place on the wire tray/basket. Repeat with remaining pieces, but don't allow the pieces to touch on the tray.
• Step 6
  Air fry at 350 F for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. If using a conventional oven, place the basket on a baking sheet and bake at 425 F for about 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
• Step 7
  Serve plain or with a dipping sauce of your choice. These are good with ranch or blue cheese dressing, salsa, marinara, or a garlic aioli.
