P3 Cauliflower “Cheese” Bites

Nutritional yeast is a great source of protein which is so important in Phase 3. Read more on the importance of Nutritional Yeast in every diet here.

I think it has a cheesy flavor and I love adding to soups and sprinkling over vegetables, especially green beans. I have been experimenting with other vegetables and here is one that was a hit in our home. I like to make them a bit more golden brown than most, so bake according to taste.

Cauliflower “Cheese” Bites 

1 large head cauliflower, chopped to florets
1 lemon, juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. pink salt
1/4-1/2 tsp. fresh black pepper
2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast

Place cauliflower in a bowl and toss with rest of ingredients until mixed well. Spread out on a baking tray. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown.
