Breaded Cauliflower

I just had this craving for cauliflower. When my hubs and I used to live in our own home, I would eat LOTS of veggies (I never had to share with hubby, because he doesn't like them), but now I have to share with the other people in the house who also love their veggies. So, needless to say, I am having less vegetables than I am used to- hence the craving. I have a vague memory of some cauliflower that my Grandma Betty once made that had some bread crumbs on it. I remember it was so yummy, so I decided to try it out. It came out so tasty...I will definitley make it again.

Breaded Cauliflower

1 head of cauliflower
3 Tbsp butter or margarine (I used Smart Taste butter substitute)- you probably could use olive oil and you may need more of the butter or olive oil depending on the size of the head of cauliflower you use (you basically want it to be coated so the breadcrumbs will stick)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt (or more to taste)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or more depending on size of cauliflower)

1. Preheat oven to 400 F
2. In medium-large pot, bring water to boil. Add cauliflower to boiling water and cook until desired tenderness. Drain cauliflower.
3. In a large bowl, melt butter (or just add olive oil). Add salt and garlic powder and stir to combine. Add cauliflower to butter mixture and toss to coat.
4. Pour breadcrumbs (I used italian seasoned) over coated cauliflower and stir to coat.
5. Arrange breaded cauliflower onto baking sheet. Bake at 400F until bread crumbs are lightly browned.
