Italian Cauliflower Nachos

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 2 - 3 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 of a large head of cauliflower, broken into florets
  • 1/2 Tablespoon olive or avocado oil
  • Red Robin Seasoning (or your favorite seasoned salt) and Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute (or Mrs. Dash)
  • 58 thin slices of pepperoni, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup cooked hot Italian sausage crumbles
  • A few fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped red onion
  • About 1 cup or so of shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese (or more, if needed)
  • Fresh basil leaves, cut in small slices (chiffonade)
  • Warm marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower with the olive oil and a generous sprinkling of seasonings. Pour the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet and set in the oven. Roast for 15 minutes, then stir and cook for another 10 minutes or so or until the cauliflower are browned and crispy in spots. Remove from the oven.
  3. Meanwhile, prep your other ingredients. Make a layer of cauliflower on a microwave (or oven) safe plate, top with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms and onions, then sprinkle on the cheese. Make another smaller layer of cauliflower and again top it with the rest of the pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions and the cheese.
  4. Microwave or bake the plate of nachos until the cheese is fully melted. Sprinkle with the fresh basil and serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
