KETO RECIPE: Cauliflower Nachos
Cauliflower is one of my favorite Keto Ingredients! It is so versatile and hearty! I probably couldn’t do Keto with out it!
This Cauliflower Nacho recipe is one of my favorites. It was inspired by my local Whole Food’s actually! I saw it on their menu and ordered it a couple of times. I really liked the idea of Keto Nachos, so I decided to make it at home!
This recipe is Dairy Free, but you can add Cheese! Just top the roasted cauliflower with shredded cheese and place back in the oven for 5 minutes. You can also add Shredded Brisket or Chicken if you are looking for more protein.
