3 creative ways to replace carbs with cauliflower

Cauliflower, although not always a favorable alternative to carbs, has started to gain popularity as a replacement for bread and white rice. It can be disguised in many recipes including pizza, curry, tater tots, tortillas, and so much more. These clever recipe ideas will help you cut down your carb intake without sacrificing your taste buds.

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Who knew that you can barely taste the cauliflower in this recipe idea? Pizza is all about the toppings, anyway. Create the cauliflower crust by cutting the vegetable into florets and adding extra touches like garlic cloves, Parmesan cheese, and fresh oregano. Finish off your masterpiece with fresh mozzarella, basil, and a bit of pepperoni. This is a meal the whole family can enjoy without suspecting the crust is gone!

Cauliflower Mac & Cheese

Take a new twist on this cheesy American favorite and solve your carb cravings without the extra calories. Create the pasta by blanching your cauliflower and leaving it out to dry. From there, pour your extra cheesy sauce over the cauliflower and add seasonings like salt, pepper, and mustard powder. Garnish with whatever ingredients you like!

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Hosting a game night? Surprise your guests with this quick alternative to baked chicken wings. The process is easy — preheat the oven to 450 degrees, toss your cauliflower pieces with oil, salt, and pepper, and cook your cauliflower for about 20 minutes. Once cooked and cooled, pour a sauce mixture consisting of hot sauce, butter, and garlic over the cauliflower for a crunchy bite. Serve with classic carrot and celery sticks as well as blue cheese and ranch. It will feel like you picked up Buffalo Wild Wings, but healthier!
