Hot n’ Spicy Cauliflower Recipe

Kaitlin here, the Queen of Making Things Not Taste Like Cauliflower since 2012™.

The funny thing is I actually love cauliflower all by itself (or with a little cheddar cheese sprinkled on top when I’m not doing a challenge) but it’s still fun to come up with feisty ways to prepare this little veggie.

Cauliflower is really the perfect vegetable. Is it a side, a soup base or a rice substitute? We may never know. One of our writers even used it as a mashed potato/puree substitute in this recipe — genius! Two to three heads of cauliflower stay chillin’ in our veggie crisper and this recipe is the perfect thing to spice up — quite literally — a weeknight dinner.

Now we know at FitnessHQ know that you’re not looking for recipes that take the blood of three virgins and a secret handshake to make when it comes to dinner. We try to keep most of our recipes fast and easy so that you can try something new with supper while also juggling laundry, bath time and homework because that’s what life looks like a lot of times and we want to help you fit healthy eating into that picture.
