Looking for a guilt-free snack that doesn’t skimp on flavor? These Cauliflower Nachos are about to become your new obsession!

First, preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will keep things tidy and make cleanup a breeze! 2. In a large bowl, toss your cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they’re all nicely coated with those delicious seasonings. 3.
