My new best friend is a vegetable

Meet my new friend cauliflower!

HEYYYYYY

Me and good ole cauli' are both pale and this means that this white and pasty vegetable is often pushed aside for its more colorful cousin broccoli and kale. Pfftttt pale and interesting I say! Cauliflower is GREAT, it conatins Beta-carotene (the same that's in carrots to help you see in the dark), vitamin C and K and per 100 calories of cauliflower you get 12 grams of fiber..

12 GRAMS!!!!!

ehemm. So here are two versions of baked cauliflower bites for you! Think like popcorn but a vegetable.

Cauliflower Vegan Cheese Bites

Ingredients

Love this stuff.. so cheeeeeseeeey

1/2 a cauliflower
3 tbsp of dairy free cheese sauce powder (plus 1 tbsp extra for dusting)
1 tbsp of italian herbs
5 tbsp of water
salt and pepper


- Pull of the florets of the cauliflower leaving behind the majority of the waxy stems. Cut florets into popcorn size (or smaller) pieces. Place in bowl.
- In a separate small bowl mix together rest of the ingredients. If you don't have the cheesy powder nutritional yeast or any vegan cheese flavoring in powder form will substitute. You want to create a thick sticky mixture that will coat the cauliflower.
-Add you mixture to the cauliflower and coat. Place on a baking tray.

Babies pre-oven

-Toss with extra cheese powder (for extra crispiness) and place in a 180 degree oven till golden, you may want to take them out at intervals and move them around so they cook evenly.

Hozaaaa cauliflower cheese, snack mode.
