Ingredients
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

1. Combine the panko, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne (if using) and salt in a shallow dish. Stir well to combine.

2. Whisk the eggs and milk together in another shallow bowl until very well combined.

Drizzle each floret with a little oil.
