Notes
Tips & Techniques for the Best Loaded Cauliflower Bites

• It is highly recommended to shred the cheese from a block rather than using pre-shredded bagged cheese.
• Line the bottom of your baking sheet with aluminum foil or a Silpat mat to make cleaning up much easier.
• You can steam the cauliflower until fork tender, rather than roasting, if you prefer. You will still need to use the oven for the second half of the recipe.
• If you are following a strict keto diet, make sure that if you decide to use Ranch dressing, it is keto-approved.
• Use a fork.  These Loaded Cauliflower Bites come close to loaded potato skins in a lot of ways, but are not quite what I would call "finger food" unless you don't mind getting a little messy.
