Healthy Snacks The Best Paleo Cauliflower Pizza Bites Ever (Try these!)
It’s still unbelievable to me how you can use cauliflower as a low carb, keto-friendly substitute for so many different types of foods. I absolutely love making everything from cauliflower rice to cauliflower ‘mashed potatoes’. Lately my go to cauliflower keto snack has been pizza bites though, and today I’m going to be sharing a recipe for making the best paleo cauliflower pizza bites ever. The reason cauliflower makes such a good ingredient replacement when making pizza bites is because it’s low carb, offers up a nearly identical texture for the dough, and it’s packed full of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. When you pair that up with classic pizza staples like pepperoni, black olives, pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning, the resulting pizza bites are crazy good.
