Cauliflower Parmesan
Think of cauliflower Parmesan as the winter analogue to eggplant Parmesan. This fried cauliflower is worth making all on its own, with golden, crisp florets that are impossible to stop eating. But they’re even better when given the parm treatment — baked with marinara sauce, mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until bubbling and browned. If you’re not a cauliflower fan, this recipe also works with broccoli.
Ingredients
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 cups panko or plain unseasoned bread crumbs
  • Kosher salt, as needed
  • Black pepper, as needed
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into 2-inch florets
  • ½ cup olive oil, for frying (more as needed)
  • 5 cups Simple Tomato Sauce (see recipe)
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • ½ pound fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-size pieces
  • Fresh basil leaves, torn if large, for serving (optional)
Note: Ingredients may have been altered from the original.
