Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 0.333 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the cauliflower, then cut it into bite-sized florets.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 5 minutes, until they are slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the panko bread crumbs to the skillet and stir to coat them in the oil and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bread crumbs are golden brown.
Step 5
Turn off the heat and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, and lemon zest. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
Step 6
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the drained cauliflower florets and sauté for 5-7 minutes, letting them develop a light golden crust.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the toasted bread crumb mixture over the cauliflower. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Step 8
Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish or light main course.
