Even those who are not a fan of cauliflower will ask for seconds of this healthy alternative to the classic take-out dish. You can even put your own spin on this recipe by varying the added vegetables and spices or make this a main dish by adding a protein such as chicken or shrimp.
Cauliflower comes with many health benefits. It is packed with nutrients such as beta-carotene, Vitamins C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, and minerals, and it is loaded with phytonutrients to help fight disease.
