Cauliflower Bites

I have been experimenting with cauliflower a lot lately!! Like in this sweet Cinnamon Cauli Pie or this savory Cauliflower Pie.  After making both recipes, I had some cauliflower leftover.  What to do with it...

Make some crunchy Cauliflower Bites!!

Since the only real ingredient is cauliflower, these little guys are so low calorie, fat free, and very healthy!! 

The only other ingredients you will need to make these are non stick spray and any seasonings you like.  I kept them super simple and just used some coarse sea salt.

Just cut up your cauliflower, rinse, and pat dry.  

Put it in a bowl and lightly spray with non stick cooking spray.  You could use olive oil, but I wanted to keep it very low calorie and fat free :)

After you spray it, just add whatever seasonings you wish! You could do salt and pepper, paprika, garlic, maybe salt and vinegar?! Go crazy or keep it simple.

Spray your baking pan too and spread them around.  

One more sprinkle of salt and into the oven.  They do take a while...be patient, they will be worth it! 

350 for about 30-40 minutes.  

When they are golden brown and crispy, they are done!!

They smell amazing too! You can seriously eat a ton of this with NO guilt! Great if you are a volume eater like me! 

This whole plate is only about 30 calories!!

Fat free, guilt free, and delicious! A great way to sneak some veggies into your diet!

Yum!!

You know you want to go make some right now!

Enjoy :)

Cinnamon Cauli Pie

There are so many uses for cauliflower! And no, it is not just good in savory dishes.  That's right, you can use it in sweet dishes too! Like in this delicious Cinnamon Cauliflower Pie.

I guarantee this will not taste like cauliflower! It will be sweet and creamy and cinnamon-y!

Let's get started.

You need one head of cauliflower, cinnamon protein powder, egg substitute, fat free cream cheese, cinnamon, vanilla, baking powder, salt, and sweetener of choice.

*You can use frozen cauliflower too*

*Sub anything creamy for cream cheese such as greek yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta...

*Use vanilla protein if you must and just add more cinnamon*

First you need to chop up, steam, and puree your cauliflower.  There is no exact measurement here.  I used whatever fit in my steamer.  It was about 500 grams...

Should look just like mashed potatoes!

Stir in the rest of your ingredients and mix it up good.

Now it should look like brown mashed potatoes :)

Pour into whatever kind of baking dish you want to use.  It can be square, rectangle, round...

I like to top it with some cinnamon/sweetener mixture. Makes it extra pretty and tasty.

Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. Obviously you may need to adjust your baking time if you use a smaller or bigger pan.

Perfection!!! See how pretty the cinnamon we put on top looks.

You will get about 6 pieces from this, but I usually eat it all by myself! I am starting to think I am a very selfish person?! At least with my food...

That's because the whole dish only has 290 calories!! Is also packs about 44 grams of protein.  

Now, I know there is a whole head of cauliflower in this, but I SWEAR you cannot taste it!! The cauliflower gives it a super creamy texture!

It is soft and moist and sweet and just awesome! Also, a great way to sneak in some veggies!! Go make it now!
