Ingredients:

• 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp smoked paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

• ⅓ cup clean BBQ sauce (look for low-sugar or no additives)

• Optional toppings: chopped green onions, sesame seeds, fresh herbs

Instructions:

1. Sauté the cauliflower
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower florets, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is golden and almost tender.

2. Add the BBQ sauce
   Pour BBQ sauce into the skillet and stir to coat. Lower heat and cook for another 3–5 minutes, until sauce is sticky and cauliflower is tender.

3. Serve hot
   Garnish with green onions or herbs. Serve warm as a side, in a wrap, or on top of a grain bowl.

Sarah’s Tips:

• Make it spicy: Add a few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne.

• No BBQ sauce? Toss with buffalo sauce or make your own with tomato paste, vinegar, and a touch of maple syrup.

• Serve it up: Try over quinoa, in lettuce cups, or tucked into a taco with slaw.

• Meal prep tip: Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in a skillet for best texture.

Flavorful Conclusion:

These Skillet BBQ Cauliflower Bites are smoky, saucy, and totally addicting in the best way. They’re proof that clean eating doesn’t have to be boring — just one skillet, a few simple ingredients, and tons of summer flavor.
