Appetizer Face-Off: Low Carb Onion Rings Vs. BBQ Cauliflower Bites
These two apps were quite the competitors and had I done things a little differently the outcome may have been different, but we will have to go with the exact recipes I chose for scoring. For those of you who do not know what the appetizer face off is all about please click here. For the rest of you keep reading the goods.
First up: BBQ CAULIFLOWER BITES
TASTE: 6
For the score of taste, the bites are getting a 6. There are some things that I would do differently next time around to make the score a bit higher, but there is no turning back now. Over all they were tasty, but there were a few things that needed some tweaking. For example, I used whole wheat flour instead of regular flour. I noticed that the taste of the whole wheat flower was very noticeable and not in a good way. In the future I would like to try this recipe again with either coconut or almond flour.

Overall, this recipe had the potential to be very good. Done right, the cauliflower bites would taste just like general Tso's chicken without the chicken. Next time I will make the necessary changes and let you all know how it turns out!
EASINESS OF RECIPE: 7

Yield: 25 Cauliflower bites Servings: 4 Prep time: 15m Cook Time: 20m
NUTRITIONAL VALUE: Once I tweak this recipe and get the bites to taste like general Tso's chicken, I would say the nutritional value would be amazing. Until then, I will not score this category.
COST: 7

The final score for the BBQ Cauliflower Bites was a 6.7!
Next up: LOW CARB BAKED ONION RINGS
TASTE: 9

EASINESS OF RECIPE: 7
Finding all the ingredients was a piece of cake. All I needed from the store was yellow onions, eggs, and oat flour. Also, prep and cook time was only about 20 minutes making for an extremely easy recipe. If cutting onions was not so painful for me, the score would have been higher!
NUTRITIONAL VALUE: Once again skipping. Don't judge.
COST: 9
This was also a cheap recipe to make. I had all the spices required, so only needed to purchase the onions, eggs, and oat flour. The total cost of those ingredients was about $6. The recipe made about 25 rings, so I divided 6 by 25 and came up with about .24 cents per ring. You can't beat that price! The rings get a 9 in this category.
The overall score of the Low Carb Baked Onion Rings was an 8.3 because they were delicious to eat, as well as cheap and easy to make!
The onion rings came out on top in this face off, but be sure to check in next week for two more apps!
WINNER!
