This take on America's classic comfort food is all about the cauliflower. Despite not being green like a few other popular superfoods, this cruciferous vegetable is packed with nutrients, like vitamins C and K. It also features a host of antioxidants, including manganese, which supports bone and skin health.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 4
- 1 head medium Cauliflower, raw
