Shake N’ Bake Moroccan Cauli Bites (AIP, Paleo, SCD, Whole30)

Cauliflower — a vegetable often adored in its riced form.

Sometimes, though, this girl’s brain breaks at the thought of tediously standing over the food processor, mindlessly pushing florets through the shredder blade. And those little “grains” of riced cauli? They get freaking EV-ER-Ywhere. (Note: Canada hasn’t yet embraced the ready-made riced cauliflower I see so many American Instagrammers picking up at Trader Joe’s. We like to do it the hard way up here in the Great White North, I guess.)

Yeah, I’m so not into ricing cauliflower these days.

But I’m into shaking and baking it in a most delicious and delightfully nightshade-free “spicy” way. Mmmmhmmmm. These Shake N’ Bake Moroccan Cauli Bites are gettin’ down in Yumtown.

You and your peeps are going to love this roasted cauliflower recipe. I promise because my husband who is ambivalent about cauliflower helped himself to seconds. Yaaay for flavah flave.

Enjoy!
