3. In a separate bowl combine the egg, oil, maple syrup, milk, spices and salt and mix with cauliflower florets ensuring they’re nicely coated.
4. In a separate bowl whisk together cornmeal and panko crumbs.
5. In batches, add dry mixture to coated cauliflower.

Optional:

2. Drizzle over cauliflower for the last 5-10 minutes of baking in the oven.
