Yes, I know we are in the middle of a global pandemic, which recommends small gathering and social distancing, but delicious and nutritious appetizers are still a fun way to feel festive!

1 large head cauliflower, sliced into flat, disc like pieces
2 Tbsps extra virgin olive oil
Salt, to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 cup marinara
1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Miniature pepperonis
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
Slice cauliflower into flat 1/2 inch discs pieces
Toss cauliflower pieces with oil, dash of salt, and garlic powder. Then spread out flat on a large sheet pan.
Roast cauliflower for about 20 minutes, flipping once in the middle so that they are golden brown and getting a slight crisp.
Remove from oven, and heat oven to broil.
Place a tiny dollop of marinara sauce onto each cauliflower bite. Top with shredded mozzarella, and a couple mini pepperoni slices.
Place back into the oven & broil for 1-2 minutes until your cheese is bubbly.
Enjoy!
