"Crack Cauliflower" Is the Mouth-Watering, Veggie Snack Even Carnivores Will Crave

Think cauliflower is tasteless? Fuggedaboutit. 

With some BBQ sauce and a bit of TLC, you can transform the cruciferous vegetable into a snack or side dish that's so addictive, leftovers are near-impossible.  

Crunchy. Saucy. BBQ-licious. It's Crack Cauliflower, and it's the best vegetarian recipe you've never tried.

Better than wings: This recipe contains a fair amount of sodium, thanks to a heaping dose of finger-lickin' good BBQ sauce. But it's way lower in calories and fat than your average plate of chicken wings. Six Buffalo wings from Pizza Hut, plus 1.5 ounces of blue cheese dip, clocks in at 810 calories and 52 grams of fat. Hubba hubba.
