Feeling for some delicious cauliflower nuggets, these are full of flavor and are also coated with gluten-free breading. My family enjoyed this recipe very much.
It is easy to make! I left the yeast flakes as optional for those who are on a yeast-free diet but yeast flakes really enhance the flavor!

Other Vegan Recipes To Try
These cauliflower nuggets are packed with flavor! They are perfect as an appetizer or as a side dish! The best time to serve them is right away while they are still hot! I prepare them after I have prepared the other dishes on my menu and let them bake while I’m preparing a salad, setting the table and doing final preparations before my guests arrive.
Update: I feel so honored because my cauliflower nuggets were included in the menu of the Vegetarian Society of DC (VSDC) Thanksgiving Dinner last year. This event is hosted annually, where vegetarians and non-vegetarians come together to give thanks and enjoy vegetarian dishes.
The event also features an influential keynote speaker and entertainers. I hope to go to this special event someday.

If someone saw these on a plate I don’t think you’d instantly think they were cauliflower. A great option when you’re trying to limit meat x
These Cauliflower Nuggets are an absolute game-changer! 🙌🍗💯 I can’t resist the sound of breaded and oven-baked cauliflower florets bursting with flavor. The fact that they can be enjoyed as both an appetizer or a main dish makes them even more versatile and perfect for any occasion. I’m definitely going to try this recipe for my family, especially knowing that they loved it too! 🌱💕 The gluten-free breading option is great for those with dietary restrictions, and the yeast flakes, though optional, seem like a fantastic addition to enhance the flavor.
