Notes
- Don't overcrowd the pan, otherwise it will all start to steam, rather than roast and it won't get crispy which is what we are aiming for.
- You can leave the Parmesan out if you prefer, but the nuggets won't be as crispy.
- You could do a mixture of cauliflower and broccoli if you wanted something different.
- Panko breadcrumbs can be swapped for regular breadcrumbs.
