Whether you're hosting your friends and family or visiting someone else to watch The Big Game (a.k.a. Superbowl) this Sunday, there's a few things that remain top of mind on this not-quite-a-holiday holiday…football, half-time shows (wardrobe malfunctions?), commercials, and…FOOD!
What are you making? What are you bringing?
This Crunchy Cauliflower recipe is perfect for Game Day. It works as a snack, an appetizer, or a side dish. It's delicious as-is, or can be paired with your favorite dip or sauce if you want to be fancy. This recipe is vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo-friendly, high protein, high fiber, and of course a serving of veggies! And…it's toddler-approved (actually, toddler-obsessed!).
