Rethinking your Food

So I love a good snack. It is so hard for me to resist those chips and salsa or charcuterie boards at all of those social gatherings. Since I have adopted healthier habits I have tried to always be prepared. I love a healthy swap in recipes but this takes those swaps to a whole different level. This shows you how to take things you love and look for and FIND healthier options!

Smart Snacking

The way we cook things often determines a lot in the way of how good/bad it is for you. I love the healthy swap option! Just like our OVEN ROASTED OKRA FRIES and our SOUTHERN DILL CHICKEN SALAD, this recipe shows you how you don't have to miss out on your favorite things.

How to Make It

Can we just talk about how easy this recipe is? It is just a few ingredients and you will never know how simple they are when you taste them. So let's get to it!

**See Recipe card for amounts

~ Method ~

Preheat oven to 450°. Wash and trim off woody stems of Cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into steaks or chunks. Trim the stems off and simply pull the florets into smaller pieces and place in a large bowl.
Add in the olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper and parsley. Mix well. Place in a single layer on a sheet pan. Bake at 450 and check every 10 minutes. Check until they reach the desired level of brown. Should take between 20- 30 minutes.
Once at your desired level of browning, remove from oven and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and toss. Bake another 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm!

Tips and Tricks

How do I make sure they all get done at the same time?

Keeping each one about the same size is key here. Done is a relative term, I like mine with a good char on them so they are smoky and crispy. Just watch them and check every 10 minutes to get them where you like them.

Can I use different seasonings?

We encourage people to make these recipes their own. This is a method simply to get you started and thinking about the things that you like. I would say try it if you think it would be great!

Can I do this with other vegetables?

This method should work very well with similar size and texture. For example, Broccoli would be fabulous the exact same way. Try another veggie and let me know what you did and how you liked it!
