Score a touchdown at your next party with this healthy alternative to nachos

Step up your game day food with this delicious appetizer


OCTOBER 30, 2019 2:24 PM EDT

Game day food is important and the cornerstone of any tailgate or at-home watch party. It can either help you celebrate a glorious win, help you cope with a crushing loss from your home team or be the talk of commercial time (”Where’d you get this recipe, Martica?”). It can range from deep fried breaded wings that will have you chanting your favorite teams' war cry to something as simple as chips and dip.

But having healthier alternatives to some of our game day favorites can have us (and our waistlines) feeling happy and healthy (and perhaps a little less bloated). Which is why this crispy baked cauliflower is such a knockout hit for all the right reasons. It’s baked. It’s crispy. And it’s healthy — leaving us dancing in the end zone time and time again (#sorrynotsorry ref). So get ready to switch out your regular basic nachos for this elevated take on a picadera favorite.
