Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

These cauliflower mashed potatoes are just as smooth and creamy as classic ones! Ready in 20 minutes, they're a delicious, easy low carb side dish.

Don’t tell Jack, but we probably won’t have classic mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving this year. I’m planning to make these cauliflower mashed potatoes instead! That’s because we’re celebrating with his parents, who eat a low carb diet. I wanted to create a rich, creamy alternative to mashed potatoes that everyone at the table would enjoy, and after testing and tweaking this recipe, I think it’s going to be perfect. These cauliflower mashed potatoes are smooth, creamy, and flavorful, made with Parmesan cheese, butter, garlic, and sour cream. I won’t tell you that they taste exactly like potatoes (they do have a…

Enchiladas Verdes

These enchiladas verdes have a zesty green tomatillo sauce and a flavorful veggie filling. Topped with gooey, melty cheese, they're a delicious dinner!

Whenever I see enchiladas verdes on a restaurant menu, I’m tempted to order them. I love a bright salsa verde, so green enchiladas always sound so good. But more often than not, they’re filled with shredded chicken. If I want veggie enchiladas verdes (not traditional, but delicious), I’m better off making them at home. These green enchiladas are my go-to recipe. I smother them in a homemade green enchilada sauce that has a tangy tomatillo base and jalapeños for a spicy kick. They’re stuffed with roasted vegetables and creamy pinto beans and topped off with fresh fixings like avocado, radishes, and…

appetizers

Buffalo cauliflower wings—a plant-based spin on buffalo chicken wings—are a classic game day snack. But after testing and perfecting this recipe, I’m here to tell you that buffalo cauliflower is wayyyy too good to only make on game day. I’ve been whipping it up for fall gatherings and movie nights, for TV binge sessions and even the occasional lunch or dinner. It’s crispy on the edges and tender in the middle, spicy, tangy, and a little bit sweet. Try one floret erm, wing, and I promise, you’ll be back for more before you know it.

Cauliflower Salad

This cauliflower salad is a picnic-perfect side dish! It's bright and delicious, featuring a creamy dressing, fresh herbs, and crunchy raw cauliflower.

I’ve shared a roasted cauliflower salad (ok, 5) on the blog before, but this RAW cauliflower salad is the first of its kind. I’m already wondering what took me so long, and once you try it, I think you will be too! This cauliflower salad recipe is bright and delicious. I like to think of it as a fun, fresh twist on classic potato salad. Like potato salad, it has a creamy, mustardy dressing, hard-boiled eggs, and savory herbs, but cauliflower replaces the potatoes. Pickled red onions and capers add an extra briny punch. This cauliflower salad recipe packs up…

This air fryer vegetables recipe shows off everything I love about air frying. First, it’s quick and easy. These air fryer veggies cook in half the time it takes to make roasted vegetables in the oven! Second, it’s delicious. The air fryer vegetables are perfectly tender, with crisp, caramelized edges. Bonus: garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice add tons of great flavor.

I love regular roasted cauliflower, but I have to admit—this air fryer cauliflower recipe is on another level. What makes it so delicious? Before I cook the cauliflower florets, I dredge them in a quick panko coating. It crisps up beautifully in the air fryer, giving the cauliflower an irresistible crunchy texture. I love this cauliflower on its own as a side dish or snack, but…

Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos

Spice up your dinner rotation with these buffalo cauliflower tacos! They're packed with crispy cauliflower, creamy avocado, and tangy vegan ranch.

These buffalo cauliflower tacos are fresh, flavorful, and FUN! I started making them when I was testing this air fryer buffalo cauliflower recipe and had lots of leftover buffalo cauliflower wings on hand. To make them a meal, I stuffed them into corn tortillas with crisp cabbage, creamy avocado, cilantro, and jalapeños. Then, I added a drizzle of vegan ranch to take it all over the top. The combination was so tasty that I knew I had to share a recipe! These buffalo cauliflower tacos would be perfect for the Super Bowl this weekend (find more game day food ideas…

It’s quick and easy to make, it’s chock-full of veggies, and, most importantly, it’s seriously PACKED with flavor. If you’re still a cauliflower rice skeptic, it’s time to give it a chance! I’m willing to bet that this recipe will make you love it. So, what exactly makes this cauliflower fried rice so flavorful? Well, instead of modeling it off a Chinese-style fried rice, I took inspiration from Korean kimchi fried rice and used chopped kimchi to load this dish…

Whole Roasted Cauliflower

A stunning main or side dish, this whole roasted cauliflower is tender, delicious, and simple to make. A quick harissa sauce adds bold flavor.

vegetarian / dinner

Let’s make a whole roasted cauliflower! This veggie “roast” might be my all-time favorite dish to make for a dinner party or a holiday meal. It’s simple (the oven does most of the work for you!), it can pass as a main dish for some folks and as a side for others, and it looks so impressive at the center of the table. And this whole roasted cauliflower recipe doesn’t disappoint on taste either. Thanks to a long, two-part roast, it’s beautifully browned on the outside and meltingly tender to its core. I’ve included instructions for roasting it plain in…
