Crispy Baked Cauliflower

This takes some time to prepare - but minutes to cook. Tastes great! Even Abby ate it.

4 cups cauliflowerets (I used one head) - chopped in easy to eat pieces
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp pepper
3 Cups cornflakes, crushed
3 egg whites

1. Place cauliflower in a saucepan with a small amount of water. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain.
(I actually forgot this step and it turned out fine)

2. Put flour and spices in resealable plastic bag. Put cornflakes in another bag. Lightly beat egg whites in a shallow bow.

3. Toss the cauliflower - a handful at a time- in the flour, roll in egg & coat with crumbs.

4. Place on a cookie sheet, covered with tinfoil and coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Serve immediately. I liked them sprayed with spray butter and sprinkled with salt. Abby and Rion liked them dipped in ranch :-).
