Golden Glow Cauliflower Bites

These Golden Glow Cauliflower Bites are the ultimate healthy comfort food. Roasted with warming spices like turmeric and smoked paprika, they’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Whether you serve them as a nourishing snack, a side dish, or with tahini for extra richness, this dish is as versatile as it is satisfying.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium cauliflower head (about 600 g)

• 1½ tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp turmeric

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

• 1 tbsp tahini (optional, for serving)
  
  

Instructions:

1. Chop the cauliflower into bite-sized florets (avoid cutting too close to the core for best texture).

2. In a large bowl, add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Toss cauliflower well to coat evenly. (Tip: Wear gloves to prevent turmeric stains!)

3. Place in an air fryer basket and cook at 385°F (195°C) for 20 minutes, shaking halfway through.

4. Remove and top with fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning as needed.

5. Drizzle with tahini for a more satiating dish, or enjoy as a side alongside lean protein.
   
   

Wellness Tip:

Cauliflower is high in fiber and antioxidants, which support gut health and lower inflammation. Adding turmeric enhances this effect with its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, while parsley adds freshness and a boost of vitamin C. This makes the dish a perfect fit for a semaglutide-friendly diet where light, nutrient-dense meals are key.
