Vegetarian Cauliflower Parmesan w/ VIDEO

Hey yo new recipe on my blog check!! This is chicken parmesan minus the chicken plus the cauliflower. Chicken who? Uh is da remix: Vegetarian Cauliflower Parmesan. Sorry I’ve been watching too much tik tok.

Check out this video I made to go with this recipe!! It was so much fun to make for you guys. I hope you like this recipe as much as I do.

Hey you, wanna burry some cauliflower in cheese? YUP.

Got more time on your hands to make this casserole? Get in the kitchen and pass the time.

Here’s a switch up to the classic chicken parmesan. Is cauliflower still the hype?? I’m not saying don’t eat chicken parm. I’m saying trust me and try it with cauliflower. I get bored of chicken reaaaaal quick, so, it’s nice to switch it up.

This casserole is all dressed up but nowhere to go, except the oven and my belly. Hm, sounds familiar #quarantined.

Here’s the video I made to go along with the recipe!
