Well friends we have officially entered the deep freeze. I don't even really want to talk about it. Ideally I would just like to hibernate inside next to the fire with some tea and a good book. Is anyone else with me? Unfortunately life still carries on despite the ridiculous weather. Oh life. But in happier news I booked my flights to Florida. In 27 days I will be boarding a plane to spend two weeks on the beach. I can't wait!! Florida is definitely my happy place. I have been going there since I was 2 months old so it really is my second home. There is nothing like the beach and some sunshine to make you feel good about life again.

The recipe I have for you today makes a great healthy snack. And it's super easy! I know I have raved about the versatility of cauliflower before but I am going to do it once again. You can turn this great vegetable into almost anything! It's pretty amazing.

I am keeping it short and sweet today because I have to run. But as always I would love it if you stopped by my other social media pages:

Happy eating everyone!

Ingredients

▢ 1 large head cauliflower
▢ 2 tablespoon coconut oil
▢ 2 tablespoon grass-fed butter or ghee
▢ sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F
Cut your cauliflower into small florets
Place florets in a bowl
Melt coconut oil and butter in a microwave proof dish in the microwave
Poor melted oil over cauliflower florets
Season with sea salt or other optional toppings (** Except for cheese - add this at the end if using) and mix well
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread seasoned cauliflower florets over baking sheet
Cook for 40-50 minutes stirring every 15 minutes or so to ensure cauliflower cooks evenly. You know it's done when cauliflower is golden brown all over
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

NOTE: If you are using a smaller head of cauliflower I would limit your oil to 3 TBSP

Other optional toppings: parmesan cheese, ground cinnamon, curry spice, chill powder, paleo friendly seasoning salt

NOTE: Cooking time will vary depending on altitude and size of cauliflower used
