This step is important because excess moisture creates steam and prevents the coating from becoming properly crisp.
3. Prepare the egg mixture
Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk until smooth.
Add approximately ½ teaspoon of the paprika, a small pinch of the garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper.
Whisk to combine.
4. Prepare the crispy coating
In another bowl, combine:
- Parmesan
- Almond flour
- Remaining smoked paprika
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Italian seasoning
- Salt
- Black pepper
Mix thoroughly.
The coating should look evenly speckled with the herbs and spices.
5. Coat the cauliflower
Dip each cauliflower floret into the egg mixture.
Allow excess egg to drip off before transferring it into the Parmesan-almond-flour mixture.
Press the coating gently onto the surface so it adheres well.
