Ease and Flavor of Oven-Baked Breaded Vegetables
- Quick Preparation: The secret to this recipe is its simplicity. First, steam the vegetable until it’s slightly tender but still retains that irresistible crispy texture. It’s a quick step that preserves the flavor and vibrant color of the vegetables.
- Bread and Bake: Next, the magic happens! The vegetables are coated with a light layer of flour, dipped in eggs seasoned with salt, pepper, and oregano, and finally covered with breadcrumbs. The result? A golden, crispy, and dry coating.
- Perfect Crispiness: Baking at 150ºC (300ºF) ensures that each piece becomes perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. The beauty of this recipe lies in its ability to deliver that delicious “breaded” flavor without the need for frying, keeping it light.
Irresistible Finish: In just a few minutes, you’ll have a dish that is not only easy to prepare but also visually appealing.

Ingredients:
- 1 medium cauliflower (or broccoli)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Salt to taste
- Ground pepper to taste
- Oregano to taste
Instructions:
- If using frozen vegetables, steam them until they are tender but still crispy (do not overcook to avoid a brittle texture), then set aside to cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 150ºC (300ºF).
- In a shallow dish, beat the eggs with a fork and season with salt, ground pepper, and oregano.
- Place the flour and breadcrumbs in separate dishes.
- Coat each cauliflower or broccoli floret in flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well.
- Grease a baking sheet with a little oil or non-stick spray. Arrange the breaded vegetables on the sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Then, turn the vegetables over and bake for another 10 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Tip: For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some grated cheese over the vegetables before baking.
