“Cheesy” Roasted Cauliflower
If you’re looking for a low-carb, plant-based side dish, this “Cheesy” Roasted Cauliflower is perfect! This recipe uses nutritional yeast (which is not an active yeast), which is rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein and makes for an amazing substitute for those with food allergies. It can be found at most grocery stores, and sometimes in bulk bins. This side dish pairs well with a bed of greens or other roasted vegetables.
If you’d prefer real cheese, you can substitute the vegan mayo and nutritional yeast for 1/4 c. shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
