Try this low-carb bacon roasted cauliflower recipe with blue cheese dip.
The perfect keto snack to me is a combination of low-carb veggie with a bold flavored fatty dip.
So, it was almost a love at the first bite with this roasted cauliflower bites with blue cheese dip. To me, it’s an elevated version of cucumber and a ranch dip.
There is more of a grown-up feel to it and it has the perfect combo of savoriness and richness. It’s the type of appetizers or snacks that are perfect for your cocktail hours.
For a casual occasion, I’d serve it right off the oven on a baking sheet with a bowl of the dip on the side. For a fancier occasion, dress it up even more with roasted crushed macadamia nuts. You can even crumble blue cheese on top for a stronger kick.
This cauliflower dish is also flexible enough that you can adjust to your likings.
If you are a vegetarian, feel free to omit the bacon. If you don’t have cauliflower, you can even make this with broccoli or zucchini.
Taking it to work? Put it in a glass container and reheat at work the moment hunger strikes.
