Every week I buy at least 1 head of cauliflower because I can make so many different dishes with it. To be honest we never eat cauliflower plain but rather cauliflower rice, mash, steaks, or in casseroles. Below I have 5 different ways you can eat cauliflower while on a low carb or keto diet. Actually I have 36 low carb cauliflower recipes to share with you. Let’s get to it.

1) Eat Cauliflower Rice

To rice cauliflower all you need to do is put a few raw florets into a food processor and then just pulse until it is in rice-like pieces. You don’t want to over process it so if you have some large chunks leftover, take them out and do them by themselves.

This will make a nice creamy addition to some of the soups below or in casseroles.
