on Apr 25, 2023, Updated Jun 04, 2024 If you follow me on Instagram stories, you know that I’ve discussed my struggle with getting in enough veggies for the day. I am really good at hiding veggies in all the soups, sauces, and dips that I share, but I have a hard time eating them on their own. I am making a conscious effort to share more veggie recipes like this one, which not only taste amazing, but are actually enjoyable and fun!
Why You’ll Love Cauliflower Nachos
You won’t feel like you’re sitting down to a big plate of veggies when you prepare these nachos: cauliflower seasoned and roasted to perfection, topped with peppers 🫑, onions 🧅, olives 🫒, tomatoes 🍅, provolone cheese 🧀 and a drizzle of sour cream. These are not only addictive, but I found they actually increased my craving for vegetables 😋. The best part is, all the toppings are customizable. Use your favorite melting cheese, your favorite crunchy vegetables, and add on beans or ground meat if you want more protein.
How to Prepare Cauliflower Nachos
🔥 Preheat the oven to 425F (220C). 🔪 Separate the cauliflower into florets or flat slices. 🧂 Add the florets to a bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder. Measure the seasonings with your heart. ❤️ ⏱ Bake for 25 to 30 minutes on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, until the cauliflower is soft and golden. 🧀 Then add the toppings: provolone, diced peppers, jalapeños (if using), onions, tomatoes, olives, and parmesan and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes. 🍽 Remove from the oven, drizzle on the sour cream, and enjoy!
