Cauliflower bites are one of Sheena's favourite recipes. It generally gets a huge thumbs-up from her patients.

 

They are simple to make, they freeze well, make a super snack on their own or add some fresh salad and have it for lunch or dinner. The combination of cauliflower and cheese is delicious.

 

A huge bonus is children seem to love them, they are tasty even cold, so they make a good addition to lunch boxes if nuts are allowed in school. They are also a good way to hide vegetables if you need to.

 

They are technically dairy free because the pecorino comes from a sheep (but if you are sensitive to lactose, pecorino does contain some).

 

Cauliflower is a great alternate to rice or mash, especially if you want a lighter meal, want to reduce your starchy carbs, or want to lose weight.
