Recipe Box, Broccoli & Cauliflower Nachos

These lo carb nachos are so tasty,
you will never miss the chips!

You can serve them as an appetizer or a side dish
and they’re easy to make too!

First cut broccoli and cauliflower into smallish florets
and put them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet

Drizzle them with olive oil,
sprinkle with chopped onions and minced garlic,
and season with salt and pepper

Roast the vegetables in the 400 degree oven for 20-30 minutes
until they begin to char around the edges

Now top them with crispy bacon pieces

Sprinkle with grated cheddar or whatever cheese you want

And top it all off with an optional sprinkle of french fried onions*

Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes to melt cheese and crisp onions

Serve them up!
Just like regular nachos, these can be messy,
so I recommend serving them with plates and forks
if you want to have them for an appetizer

We had these nachos as a side dish along with chicken for dinner
A great way change up a meal!

I have to admit to never thinking of broccoli and cauliflower nachos. Honestly, I’m not sure I will but I do enjoy seeing something new.
Jenna, these look yummy! I really need to watch what I’m eating. I think since this pandemic started all I do is cook and bake to keep everyone’s spirits up. This would be a great option for me to try. Thanks so much for the idea! Take care and have a great week ahead!
