What could I replace the coconut oil with. My doctor doesn’t want me to use it anymore because I have so much inflammation around my heart right now. Trying to stay away from oils as much as possible. I love cauliflower though! 🤗
Hello Tara; Thank you for the comment. I recommend using EV Olive oil. Just make sure cook the oil at low temp, as it burns with high heat.
