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!

*Instead of the French Fried Onions,
you can make your own lo carb fried onions here
Enjoy this twist on Nachos,
there are infinite possibilities here,
spice them up with pepper jack cheese or jalapenos,
substitute chorizo sausage or any sausage for bacon,
lighten them up with cooked chicken or keep them vegetarian…
