Calling all cauliflower lovers! These more than 30 captivating cauliflower recipes are perfect for enjoying this vegetable for every meal of the day.
When I was a kid, I’d only eat cauliflower if it was bathed in cheese sauce. And although I still enjoy it like that, I am come to realize what a versatile, delicious, satisfying vegetable cauliflower can be — both in main dishes and in side dishes.
These recipes from Sarah’s Cucina Bella and around the web just go to show how many ways cauliflower can be enjoyed — from tasty vegan dishes to comforting meat-filled ones and everything in between.

This recipe has a secret. See, it’s creamy and filled with tasty shredded chicken and sweet fire roasted corn. But that creaminess? It’s not from cream or butter … it’s a puree of veggies including cauliflower that gives it a decadent, but not really decadent, creaminess. I think I’m in love.

Spicy. Salty. Puttanesca sauce usually transforms pasta with its flavor symphony. But in this creative take on it, cauliflower takes center stage … and looks amazing.
