Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the cauliflower florets in the seasoned flour until they are well coated.
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower florets in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the cauliflower from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
-
Add the vegetable broth, lemon juice, and capers to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Return the crispy cauliflower florets to the skillet, coating them with the lemon-caper sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the cauliflower to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
-
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the Cauliflower Piccata for a pop of fresh herb flavor.
-
Serve the Cauliflower Piccata warm, either on its own or over a bed of cooked pasta or rice. Garnish with additional lemon slices or capers if desired.
