These Cauliflower Nachos have roasted cauliflower with ranch dressing, fresh corn, shredded chicken and a hearty drizzle of buffalo sauce.



I like to flavor up my dishes by adding a few simple, tasty ingredients that come together in unexpected ways. I also strive to eat healthy when I can (and cut down on those calories) but I’m a comfort food fanatic, too. Those things don’t always jive so well.

I’m addicted to my Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower which definitely fits the bill…but I can always find a way to take things one step further :-)

For these easy cauliflower nachos, I roasted cauliflower then added some parmesan cheese.

You can stop there if you like…the parmesan roasted cauliflower bits are so good! I like to get my florets really small since they brown up much better, but you can do it however you prefer.

Next, I topped it with fresh corn off the cob (no need to cook it), shredded rotisserie chicken, a little buffalo wing sauce and another drizzle of ranch dressing. A sprinkling of chopped green onion and dinner is done!

I love that Cauliflower Nachos helps me get my family’s veggies in for the day but that it tastes like we’re spoiling ourselves. Although roasting the cauliflower does take about 40 minutes, using a rotisserie chicken makes this a quick, easy and healthy dinner (or an appetizer).

Don’t skip the fresh corn, either; we all agreed that the sweetness and crunch adds texture and flavor that’s necessary for this dish. Not that I’d stop you from making it without it!
