Whether you’re looking for a delicious gluten-free alternative or you’re experimenting with clever ways to incorporate vegetables into your diet, cauliflower has it all. Here are a few unexpected ways to use this versatile veggie.
Nachos
Your favorite Mexican snack just became low carb. Thinly sliced, roasted cauliflower florets act as an excellent vehicle for all your favorite nacho toppings. Try using different condiments such as cheese, salsa, guacamole, and meat.
Pizza Dough
Making your pizza crust with cauliflower allows for a lighter dough, giving you the chance to go all out on crazy pizza toppings. We promise you won’t even be able to taste the difference between traditional crust and cauliflower crust!
Rice
Throw some cauliflower into a food processor to create rice-like pieces, then sauté it in olive oil until it has become soft. Cauliflower rice is a delicious, flavorful side for all of your go-to dishes. Extra seasoning such as lemon juice, garlic, or parsley adds a zesty kick to this earthy side.
Gnocchi
Move over, potatoes. These comforting Italian dumplings can be made with cauliflower, making an impressive dinner to serve for friends and family. These gnocchi pair beautifully with the flavors of a nutty, creamy pesto.
