Oven-Roasted Cauliflower Bites with Lime & Cilantro

August 1, 2014 2 Comments

I’ve got a thing for cauliflower. The possibilities are endless with this stuff, so I use it whenever I can get my hands on it.

Though it’s good as a pizza crust, mashed like potatoes, baked like chicken wings, and stuffed into tacos – it’s also good on it’s own, roasted in the oven, covered in an array of spices.

Mmm mmm good.

I could eat this cauliflower all by myself – the whole thing – and I wouldn’t feel guilty. Because it’s cauliflower! And it’s healthy! And it’s better than most other savory snacks I can think of!

Oh, and did I mention that it’s crazy easy to make, too?

Chop cauliflower, toss with seasonings, bake, eat. The end.

Serve it up on it’s own as a snack, or alongside pretty much any meal you could possibly be eating. Burgers? Yep. Pasta? Why not? Tacos? Of course!

This cauliflower goes with everything. Eat it up!

This Week’s Vegan Menu Plan

Every week, I create a menu plan for the week ahead. I’ve always found menu planning to be helpful, but especially when eating a vegan diet. Sometimes I forget to make one, and those weeks are just awful. I stare into the fridge and whine that there’s “nothing to eat”, even though the fridge is […]

Gluten-Free Vegan Pumpkin Scones with Chopped Pecans

Scones, anyone? What about pumpkin scones? With a delicious glaze and crushed pecans? Yes? You’re not sick of pumpkin yet, are ya? Pumpkin is still flying around my kitchen ALL THA TIMEEEEE these days and I am digging into it left and right. And these scones. They are not only stuffed with pumpkin and pecans […]

3 Ingredient Vegan Gnocchi

The first time I ever tried gnocchi was 2 years ago. I was browsing Pinterest (’cause duh, what else would I be doing with my time?) and came across this mysterious dish called “gnocchi”. Pasta made out of potatoes and flours. Pu-lease. I am too sophisticated for that. But I checked out the recipe anyway. […]

Chocolate & Coconut Pumpkin Bars (Raw, No Bake)

With a can of pumpkin in my hand, I was on a mission to make something tasty. I didn’t feel like cookies or cake or pie or fudge (WHAT?!), so I hopped on Pinterest and scoured the site for pumpkin treats I could make right here, right now. Then I got distracted by quotes. And […]

Chocolate Beetroot Dougnuts

Extra, extra! Read all about it! I put beets in my doughnuts and I’m loving every last bite of these chocolate morsels! I used to be one of those people who hated beets. In fact, just the sight of them alone would give me the heebie jeebies. My mom used to always buy the pickled […]

Mini Cauliflower Crust Pizzas with Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

The other day I was thinking out loud and my brain forced me to blurt out “cauliflower crust pizza I need you in my liiiiiife”. And clearly if I’m thinking about a particular food, I need to make it, or my brain will not be happy. And so I obliged. I made cauliflower crust pizza. And […]
