Cilantro Lime Cauliflower
Cauliflower is a great side dish to add nutrient-rich powers to your dinner. Give this superfood a kick with cilantro & lime flavors!
October 20, 2020
You know what vegetable they always tell you to eat, but it’s not always easy? Cauliflower. The cruciferous is packed full of vitamins and nutrients like protein, fiber, vitamin C, and folate, giving it powers to prevent disease.
We’ve probably all tried the popular versions of cauliflower in riced form, or in gnocchi, but I have to admit I sometimes get sick of the typical flavors and textures.
This recipe, brought to you by my guest blogger, Alexandra, is a great way to mix up those standard flavors with a kick. Crispy and nutty from roasting, this cauliflower is covered in a delightful thin coating of lime, garlic, and spices — made a little more decadent with the addition of egg and flour. Then it’s topped with fresh cilantro after baking.
Take advantage of the powers of the cauliflower, but enjoy the twist of cilantro and lime to have you asking for more. With only 98 calories per serving, there’s no reason you can’t go back for seconds!
