Cauliflower Bites in a Cornflake Crust with Lemon-Dill Dip

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven and make the dip

   Preheat the oven to 220 °C, using conventional top and bottom heat. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix the yogurt, mustard, and lemon juice. Finely chop the dill, stir it into the dip with 1 g of salt, and refrigerate.

   
2. 2

   Cut and salt the cauliflower

   Break the cauliflower into florets about 3 to 4 cm in size. Rinse them and dry thoroughly so the coating does not stick to wet spots during baking. Toss them with the remaining 4 g of salt.

   
3. 3

   Prepare the coating

   Crush the cornflakes into small pieces, not a powder, and mix them with the paprika, black pepper, and 15 ml of olive oil. Put the flour in one bowl and beat the eggs with a fork in a second bowl.

   
4. 4

   Coat and bake

   Coat each floret first in flour, then in egg, and finally in the cornflakes; press the coating on gently. Brush the baking sheet with the remaining 5 ml of oil, arrange the pieces in a single layer, and bake for 22 to 26 minutes. Turn them over after 12 minutes. They are ready when the coating is golden and the tip of a knife slides easily into a floret.

   Serve warm

   Leave the baked bites on the baking sheet for 2 minutes so the crust can firm up. Serve them while still warm with the chilled lemon-dill dip.
