I have been consistently craving spicy food during this pregnancy. Since a lot of spicy food translates into deep-fried or high-fat, I decided I wanted something healthy yet spicy to snack on. My first thought of was that cauliflower was not going to satisfy my craving, however I was pleasantly surprised. Hope you enjoy (guilt-free) as well!
Ingredients
6 cups of fresh cauliflower florets
2 teaspoons garlic powder
a pinch of salt
a pinch of pepper

2.Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the cauliflower florets.
3.Bake for 20 minutes.
4.Combine the melted butter and hot sauce into a small bowl and pour over the cauliflower.
5. Bake for an additional 5 minutes.
6 .Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing along with carrots and celery sticks.
This looks so good! My mom makes a recipie along the lines of this as a substitute for mashed potatoes – she mashes up a head of cauliflower and whips it up with some sour cream and cheese, and it’s basically cheesy potatoes without the carb overload. Definitly my favorite healthy swap=)
