Cauliflower Nuggets
- Nut free
- Vegetarian
Ingredients
- 1/2 head cauliflower
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp celery salt
- 1 cup reduced-fat cheese
- olive or canola oil spray
Variations
To make this dish gluten free, substitute the breadcrumbs for a gluten free variety.
If you don't have celery salt, reduce to 1/4 tsp salt instead.
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with paper.
2. Steam the cauliflower for 5 minutes until tender. Drain thoroughly and blot with paper towel.
3. Add all ingredients to a food processor. Process for 10 seconds or until the mixture combines.
4. Form heaped teaspoon-sized amounts into nuggets. Place on the baking tray. Spray with olive oil.
5. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn and spray with olive oil and bake for a further 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Note: Celery salt provides a unique flavour by combining ground celery seeds with salt (plus a few other herbs and spices). It is usually gluten free, however check the food label to be sure as some food companies may add wheat flour to the mix.
