Today's recipe is from the cookbook "Kosher by Design: Kids in the Kitchen" by Susie Fishbein. In it, each recipe is coded using chef's hats -- one hat indicates the easiest level (fewest cooking skills), two hats means some cutting skills are required, and three-hat recipes are for children who know their way around the kitchen.

This recipe was given a two-hat rating.

BREADED CAULIFLOWER

PG tested

Equipment

• Cookie sheet
  
• Parchment paper
  
• Cutting board
  
• Sharp knife
  
• Large mixing bowl
  
• Measuring cups and spoons
  
• Plastic wrap
  
• Small bowl
  
• Fork

Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
  
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 1/2 cup corn flake crumbs or bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Hold your cauliflower on its side on your cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut off cauliflower florets into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Discard the hard center of the cauliflower.

Add the oil to the bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Shake the bowl to coat the florets.

Break the eggs into a small mixing bowl. Lightly beat them with a fork. Uncover the bowl, add the eggs and re-cover (you may need a fresh piece of plastic wrap to get it to stick). Shake the bowl again to coat the cauliflower with the eggs.

Uncover the bowl and add the corn flake crumbs or bread crumbs. Recover the bowl and seal with plastic wrap. Shake to coat the cauliflower.

Place the breaded cauliflower onto the prepared cookie sheet in a single layer.

Place the cookie sheet into the oven and bake for 35 minutes.

When the baking time is done, carefully stick a fork into one of the pieces and make sure it is soft. If it is still hard, return the cauliflower to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes. When it is done, remove the cauliflower from the oven and serve.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Note: Instead of using a bowl covered with plastic wrap to shake the florets, we put them in a large, sealable food storage bag.
