Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• nonstick cooking spray
• ⅓ cup whole wheat bread crumbs
• 3 pinches freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.

Step 2

Mix bread crumbs, thyme, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper together in a mixing bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil and rub it into the bread crumbs with your fingertips.

Step 3

Quickly run cauliflower under water to dampen slightly. Roll cauliflower around in the bread crumb mixture until crumbs stick; place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle any excess crumbs over top.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven until tender and lightly browned, about 12 minutes.
