Eating meat, fast food, and sandwiches are okay, but sometimes, you want a healthy, home-cooked meal that will fill you up but doesn’t exactly take hours to prepare.
Cauliflower to the rescue.
Cauliflower is a great source of antioxidants. It’s high in choline, which is an essential nutrient for memory, mood, and recall.
It’s also a significant source of sulforaphane, which helps fight cancer. Aside from that, it’s also high in fiber and a very helpful vegetable.
Cauliflower is a veggie worth chopping.
Last Minute Kitchen, a YouTube channel based in Germany, posted a viral video recipe that garnered over 14.9M views.

This baked cauliflower dish looks like an expensive dish that you would order in a restaurant, but we promise, this savory dish is really easy to make.
Let’s start with the ingredients:
- 1 large head (or 1.3 kilos) of cauliflower
- 1 1/4 cups (or 150 grams) of panko breadcrumbs
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp (or 100 grams) of flour
- 3 medium-sized eggs
- 5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of Italian herbs
- 2 teaspoons of dried parsley
- 1/2 cup (or 50 grams) of grated parmesan cheese
- Salt
- Pepper
For the dip, you will need:
- ~3/4 cups (or 200 grams) of sour cream
- ~1/2 cup (or 100 grams) of yogurt
- Finely chopped parsley
- Salt
- Pepper
- Lemon juice
Let’s start:
Wash your cauliflower and remove the stems. Cut them into serving sizes, not too big and not too small.
In a big pot of boiling water, add salt. Then add your cauliflower.
Cook for about 5 minutes.
Once they are cooked, strain your cauliflower and let them cool at room temperature.
Prepare the breading mix.
Put your panko breadcrumbs in a large bowl, and then add your crushed garlic, followed by olive oil.
Add the Italian herbs, dried parsley, and your cheese. Mix well and set it aside.
Now, get two separate bowls, one for the egg mixture and one for the flour.
Get your cauliflower and dip each one with flour.
Then dip them in the egg mixture, and finally in the panko breading.
Put them on a baking tray.
Make sure you have placed a layer of parchment paper before putting it in your cauliflower.
Bake for 15 minutes at 355℉.
While baking, let’s create the dip. This is actually optional, but it goes really well with the baked cauliflower.
Let’s start with a bowl. Mix in your sour cream, yogurt, finely chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
