Cauliflower Nuggets

Nuggets are a widely eaten snack or entree, although they are not a healthy and
recommended food. However, these nuggets are a healthier option with low saturated fat content, since the main ingredient is cauliflower. These have a creamy and smooth texture inside and are crispy on the outside. To add a touch of different flavor and to mask a little the flavor of the cauliflower, there are spices and grated vegan cheese.
