Instruction
- In a bowl toss the cauliflower florets in the tamari, paprika, raw honey, ACV, olive oil & salt and pepper. Place on a dehydrator tray and dehydrate at 115°F for 4 hours. Set aside while you make the rest of the salad. If you don’t have a dehydrator you can do a normal roast in the oven with the cauliflower. Ssssh don’t tell anyone.
