• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg until well combined.
4. Dip each steamed cauliflower floret into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the almond flour mixture.
