  1. I made these and they were AMAZING – all of my friends immediately wanted the recipe. Rather than combining the spices, I just used a packet of taco seasoning I had and it made the dish so flavorful. I am already planning on making this again next weekend. Thanks!

  4. We’ve just discovered the wonders of roasted broccoli and now you have introduced us to yet another roasted vegetable recipe – and what a great use of cauliflower! Thanks for the delicious inspiration!

  13. Yeah, I’m always looking for different super bowl snacks as well and these are healthier than the traditional Nachos.

  16. This is such a great idea! I am definitely ready for some veggies to break up all the heavy holiday food — but it’s too cold for me to reach for a salad for dinner most nights, so this is perfect! I’m a huge fan of cauliflower, too, and I’m always looking for new ways to use it. Nachos are so creative! I’m definitely going to give this a try. 🙂

  23. We make something similar at our house with cauliflower, cheddar and green onion and call them “cauliflower cheesies” Cauliflower nachos are the best!
