If you are tired of eating the same old side dishes for dinner or looking to curb that carbohydrate craving these are amazingly simple and super versatile. They taste great dipped in most anything from pizza sauce to ketchup like a tater-tot. Since we are pretty much all gluten free here all the time and my little guy has a nightshade intolerance and can’t have potato cauliflower has become my new kitchen best friend.
