I love this "Spiced Up Cauliflower" recipe! I make it at least every other week, and sometimes weekly! I adapted the recipe from Meghan Telpner. It's definitely a different spin on how you might normally enjoy cauliflower! I've never been a Doritos fan, but the spice combination, especially when you include the nutritional yeast, tastes like the seasoning on a Doritos chip! It's spicy (but now too hot) and cheesy! It's such a great combo. And to pack even more nutritional punch into the recipe, I add chickpeas or cannelini or navy beans. It adds protein, healthy fat and more fibre. You've got to try this! I know you'll love it too!
