Gluten-Free Crispy Cauliflower

By 21 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Did you know cauliflower is packed with nutrition? Yeah, shocking I know. It’s easy to be fooled by its lack of color.

At our house we are trying to include new foods into our meals. Foods we don’t always pick up at the grocery store, to get more balance and variety, to have more fun… to find new recipes.

Cauliflower contains potent antioxidants that reduce inflammation making it an excellent disease-fighter. One cup has a full dose of the daily value for vitamin C, and it’s a good source of fiber and folate.

Couldn’t keep my hands off these golden nuggets. Salty. Crunchy. Warm. Fresh. Light. Zesty. They would make a terrific party appetizer or weeknight sides that’s a little less than ordinary.

    Great recipe, I love cauliflower. My mom in law just found out that she has a gluten allergy, so this is the perfect recipe to cook when she comes over this weekend. Thanks.

      You're welcome! The good news is there are lots of gluten-free products on the market now and more restaurants are starting to expand their options. It can be tough– hope she liked the cauliflower!

      Let me know what you think!! We had this on Memorial Day and the pickier eaters in our family actually liked it… maybe because it wasn't green? 🙂

    I am 2 days away from finishing my dietetic internship and I've been learning a lot about gluten free living! I would love to take a peek at that recipe book!
