cauliflower
If you’re looking for inspiring cauliflower recipes, you’re in the right place. Cauliflower is a great go-to ingredient. You can cook with the florets, as well as the stems, and stalks. I love it grilled, broiled, blanched, pureed, sautéed – just about any way you can imagine.
Cauliflower is fast to prepare and cook, and a powerfully nutritious member of the cruciferous vegetable family – thought to contain a powerful arsenal of anticancer compounds. Here are my favorite cauliflower recipes and preparations. Please enjoy!
Cauliflower Caponata
This deeply flavorful caponata recipe cleverly trades out traditional eggplant for roasted cauliflower and uses an oven in place of deep-frying. The idea comes from Easy Wins by Anna Jones and has become an absolute favorite.
Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini
A special roasted cauliflower inspired by Sara Forte’s new cookbook. It’s wildly delicious - loaded with herbs, dates, nuts, roasted red onions and tossed with a tahini dressing.
Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Cottage cheese pancakes are a fluffy, protein-boosted twist on traditional pancakes. Serve them up sweet or savory!
Pickled Cauliflower
Step by step instructions for how to make quick pickled cauliflower. Cauliflower is combined with slivered onions, mustard seeds and dried chiles and covered in a hot vinegar. The florets are tangy with a kiss of salty sweetness and super good!
Cashew Curry
A simple, weeknight cashew curry recipe. Curry powder in coconut milk, deeply toasted cashew nuts, a handful of green beans, two handfuls of tiny cauliflower florets, and a bit of tofu for good measure makes it all good.
Homemade Cavatelli
Simple, homemade cavatelli pasta is a super fun shape to make! Pictured here spiked with turmeric and black pepper, and topped with roasted winter vegetables and Parmesan.
Cauliflower Soup
This is the simplest of cauliflower soups. And it is so incredibly good. The ingredient list is shorter than short, and if you have a great yellow curry paste on hand (or even just a good one), it is worth making.
Beer-Roasted Cauliflower with Pasta
Poach a whole head of cauliflower in an olive-oil dappled, chile-spiked, beer-based broth, then wedge it & roast it until golden-crusted and butter tender.
Instant Pot Chickpea Cauliflower Korma
An Insta-friendly riff on the Chickpea Cauliflower Korma recipe in Jennifer Iserloh's The Healing Slow Cooker - chickpeas, cauliflower, combined with a not-shy simmer sauce.
Simple Weeknight Cauliflower
A favorite weeknight cauliflower recipe. Tiny florets of pan-fried cauliflower are tossed with garlic, chives, lemon, Parmesan, and flaky sea salt.
