Baked Cauliflower with Garlic Recipe

08/05/202105/08/2021 by Chef Buck

Oven baked cauliflower with garlic is easy to prepare and delicious. With a minimum of ingredients you can roast a super flavorful vegetarian dish. Besides the veggies, I use only a little olive oil, salt, and pepper with this roasted vegetables recipe.

What you need for Baked Cauliflower and Garlic

1 large CAULIFLOWER broken down
3 medium ONIONS
2 bulbs GARLIC
4-5 Tbsp OLIVE OIL
SALT and BLACK PEPPER to taste

How to make Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic

Preheat your oven to 425˚F.
Wash and pat dry a large head of cauliflower. Break the cauliflower down into florets and cut the stem into chunky sizes.
Chop the onions into large sizes and separate.
Break down two entire bulbs of garlic. Leave the garlic cloves intact, except for the larger cloves which you can slice into halves.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper, and toss the veggies until lightly coated in oil.
Remove the veggies from the bowl and spread into a single layer on a baking sheet. You can line the baking sheet with parchment paper if desired. Check the current price for parchment paper on Amazon.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes, or until the cauliflower begins to color nicely.
After 30 minutes, remove the baking pan from the oven and give the veggies a toss and then re-spread them out into a single layer once more.
Return the baking pan to the oven and roast for approx. 20 more minutes or until the cauliflower has cooked down and colored to your desire.

And that’s it! This baked cauliflower with garlic recipe makes a fantastic vegetable side dish and is tasty hot or cold.

One of my favorite ways to use cauliflower is in a mock ‘potato” salad recipe. It’s a healthy twist on a classic potato salad.

Roasted Cauliflower Salt and Pepper Style

03/13/2021 by Chef Buck

This roasted cauliflower recipe is spicy and delicious. My oven baked cauliflower dish is a twist on a Chinese inspired salt ‘n pepper style recipe. If you like salt and pepper shrimp, you might enjoy this vegetable version.

What you need for Spicy Roasted Cauliflower

1 lg head of CAULIFLOWER broken down
2 sliced JALAPENOS
6 chopped GREEN ONIONS
1 lg bunch fresh CILANTRO
10-12 cloves chopped GARLIC
2-3 Tbsp OLIVE OIL
SALT and BLACK PEPPER to taste

How to make Roasted Cauliflower Salt ‘n Pepper Style

Preheat your oven to 425˚F.
Wash and pat dry a large head of cauliflower. Break the cauliflower down into florets and cut the stem into chunky sizes.
Chop the green onions; separate the green onion tops from the green onion bottoms.
Remove the white pith and seeds from the jalapenos and cut the peppers into slices. Jalapenos can burn your skin, so wear gloves if you are sensitive.
In a bowl, combine the cauliflower, green onion bottoms, and sliced jalapenos. Add in the olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper.
Toss the veggies until lightly coated in oil.
Remove the veggies from the bowl and spread into a single layer on a baking pan. Use parchment paper if you can, it will make the veggies easier to toss when you add the cilantro later. Check the current price for parchment paper on Amazon.
Place the baking pan in the oven and roast 30-40 minutes, or until the cauliflower begins to color nicely. Give the cauliflower an occasional stir and re-spread into a single layer.
While the Cauliflower roasts, chop up 1 bunch of fresh cilantro. Use the stems and the leaves, and use a large bunch!-the cilantro will cook down considerably in the oven.
Place the chopped cilantro into the same bowl used for the cauliflower mix. Reserve a bit of the cilantro for a garnish.
Add in the chopped green onion tops.
Give the garlic cloves a rough chop and add into the bowl as well.
Toss the ingredients together. Do not add additional olive oil.
When the cauliflower in the oven begins to color, stir in the cilantro mix, and spread the veggies out and return the baking pan to the oven.
Roast approx. 20 minutes until the cilantro has cooked down, giving the dish a toss about halfway through.

And that’s it! This roasted cauliflower dish is surprisingly tasty hot or cold. I used two jalapenos, but you can cut back to one jalapeno if you’re leery of hot peppers. Or just substitute red pepper flakes, but I love jalapenos with roasted cauliflower.

If you need a baking pan for this recipe, you can check current prices on Amazon.

One of my favorite ways to use cauliflower is in a mock ‘potato” salad recipe. It’s a delicious and healthy twist on a classic potato salad.

Cauliflower Cakes for LESS Carbs MORE Flavor

01/31/202104/21/2018 by Chef Buck

Try this cauliflower cakes recipe if you’re into healthy, low carb, and delicious. Just ball your cauliflower into flavorful balls, press them out into cakes, and bake them in the oven. I like to top mine with a creamy sauce, but that’s optional. Serve these cauliflower cakes over a bed of spinach and you’ve got a low carb, light and delicious meal.

What You Need To Make Cauliflower Cakes

3 cups of grated CAULIFLOWER
½ cup of freshly grated CHEESE
2 EGGS beaten
1 Tbsp chopped JALAPENO
¼ cup finely chopped BELL PEPPER
2 finely chopped GREEN ONIONS
1-2 cloves minced GARLIC
1 tsp dried ITALIAN SEASONING
1 tsp TURMERIC POWDER
1 tsp GARLIC POWDER
1 tsp SMOKED PAPRIKA
1 tsp CHILI POWDER
PARCHMENT PAPER to line your baking sheet
MAYONNAISE and LEMON for dressing

How to Cook Cauliflower Cakes

Grate fresh cauliflower into granules resembling “poprocks”. I like to use a hand grater, but feel free to use a food processor, however, I think grating the cauliflower by hand actually makes the cauliflower cakes lighter and fluffier. If you do use a food processor, don’t over-process the cauliflower into a doughy consistency, unless you prefer a more dense cauliflower patty.
In a bowl, add the grated cauliflower and the rest of the ingredients.
Mix all ingredients well, then separate into individual portions for cakes.
Form each portion into a ball and squeeze out excess liquid.
Form the cauliflower ball into a ½ inch thick patty and place on the parchment paper lined baking sheet, and definitely USE PARCHMENT PAPER, or your cauliflower might stick after baking. The cakes will not hold together well before cooking, but you can adjust the shape and size of each patty while on the baking sheet. Check here for current pricing for parchment paper on Amazon.
Place baking sheet in an oven preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, bake approx. 30-40 minutes, or until the cauliflower cakes color and firm up.
Remove cauliflower cakes from the oven and serve over a bed of greens.

I like to top the cakes with a simple dressing of mayonnaise and lemon, and adding a dash of jalapeno pickling juice or horseradish isn’t a terrible idea!
And that’s it. Eat and enjoy!

Quick Dressing for Cauliflower Fritters

½ cup MAYONNAISE
2-3 Tbsp LEMON JUICE
minced LEMON ZEST
1 tsp finely chopped PICKLE, JALAPENO, or GARLIC

Mix ingredients in a small bowl, adjust to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

And For More Cauliflower Recipes

Try this Cauliflower Crust Pizza Recipe, which can also make a pretty cool Cauliflower Burrito Recipe.

If you don’t have a baking sheet, use a big pizza pan. Big pizza pans make the best baking sheets for cauliflower pizza crusts, nachos, whatever…round is always better than square, right? If you need one in your kitchen, check out current Big Pizza Pan prices on Amazon.

A white pizza is great on any kind of crust.

Cheesy Cauliflower Hack for Winners

03/05/202002/28/2018 by Chef Buck

Here’s an easy cheesy cauliflower recipe that makes a great side dish or a tasty treat between meals. It’s saucy and cheesy and will satisfy your need for something decadent in the middle of the day.

What You Need To Make Easy Cheesy Cauliflower

CAULIFLOWER (florets, stems, the whole thing…whatever your taste buds prefer
CHEESE …freshly grated, and whatever cheese you like, but cheddary is nice
MUSTARD …fancy mustard!…definitely don’t use yellow mustard, unless you’re a savage
MAYONNAISE
SALT and PEPPER to taste

Also add additional spices and herbs if you like…make it as complicated or simple as you like.
I like this dish for it’s simplicity, and because it’s a tasty snack that keeps me from making a nutritionally
inferior choice, but you can definitely jazz the recipe up. Add fresh dill and minced garlic to the sauce, or garlic
and onion powder, or dried Italian seasonings; make the dish as simple or complicated as you like.

How to Make Microwave Cheesy Cauliflower

You can microwave an entire head of cauliflower in a bowl, but I like to break the cauliflower into smaller bowls for a tiny cauliflower treat. Use the stems and florets and cook accordingly. The more stem you use, the longer the cooking time.
Add a splash of water to the bowl and microwave of high heat to desired doneness.
While the cauliflower cooks, in a bowl mix the sauce of mustard, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Adjust ratios to taste.
Once the cauliflower has cooked to desired doneness, spoon and spread the sauce over the cauliflower.
Top with freshly grated cheese.
Microwave another minute to melt the cheese.

And that’s it.
Serve this simple microwave cauliflower cheese as a side dish, or eat it right out of the bowl for a cheesy cauliflower treat. Believe me, it’s a treat.
Is it ice cream? No. It’s not ice cream. But it’s goooood, you’ll actually love it, and be satisfied, and you won’t feel as bad when you’re finished.

Cauliflower Salad Recipe — Cauliflower Super Salad

03/05/202010/14/2017 by Chef Buck

I’ll call this cauliflower recipe a Cauliflower Super Salad because it’s super easy and super nutritious. This cauliflower salad requires few ingredients, but packs tons of terrific flavor. The recipe is based on an Italian-style red potato recipe that is one of my favorite dishes; substituting cauliflower for the potato in that recipe is a perfect switch. Cauliflower Super Salad is a light, low calorie, low carb recipe that works great as a side dish, or you can use it as a topping for your favorite leafy greens.

What You Need To Make This Cauliflower Salad Recipe

2 lbs CAULIFLOWER
1-2 minced GARLIC cloves
½ cup chopped GREEN ONIONS
1 cup chopped PARSLEY
2 tsp WORCESTERSHIRE
½ cup OLIVE OIL
¼ cup VINEGAR
1 tsp DRY MUSTARD
1 tsp PAPRIKA
SALT and PEPPER (to taste)

How to Make a Cauliflower Super Salad

Break the cauliflower into florets and chop the stems into smaller pieces.
Steam the cauliflower for 5-8 minutes, but don’t over-steam or it will become mushy in the salad.
Once cauliflower is steamed, set it aside to cool a bit.
While the cauliflower cools, make the dressing.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, seasonings, and garlic. Mix well.
In a a larger bowl, add steamed cauliflower, parsley, green onion, and the dressing.
Toss until everything is well coated in the dressing.

Serve as a side dish or as part of a leafy salad.
It tastes great right away while it’s warm, and it will taste great later after it has been refrigerated, and if you have leftovers, it will taste even more fantastic the next day.

Tips for a Better Cauliflower Salad

Use curly leaf parsley; I think it holds well with the dressing and works better than a leafy Italian parsley.
If you’re making the salad a day or two in advance, hold off on the green onions and add them later.
When serving, adding a few sliced cherry tomatoes is a quick way to add a dash of color.
For a vegan salad, check the label on your Worcestershire sauce, some sauces use anchovies, some don’t.
To easily add a bit of protein to this dish, top with toasted nuts.
Make a complete meal of this dish by serving it on a bed of spinach and topping it with toasted nuts.

Cauliflower Potato Salad “NO POTATO” Recipe

03/05/202007/13/2017 by Chef Buck

A cauliflower potato salad recipe is a great substitute for classic potato salad. This fake “potato” salad is a light, low calorie, low carb recipe that tastes great and is just as easy to make as potato salad. In fact, a creamy cauliflower salad is easier to make, since steaming cauliflower takes less time than cooking potatoes. And you won’t miss the potato at all, trust me.

What You Need To Make Cauliflower Potato Salad

2 lbs CAULIFLOWER florets
1 cup chopped RED BELL PEPPER
2 stalks chopped CELERY
½ cup chopped PARSLEY
chopped whites of 4-6 BOILED EGGS

Cauliflower Potato Salad Dressing:

4-6 EGG YOLKS
½ cup MAYONNAISE
2 Tbsp CREAMY HORSERADISH (or 3 Tbsp?…it’s good in this dish)
1 Tbsp fancy MUSTARD
1-2 Tbsp of PICKLE RELISH
(a splash or two of pickle juice is a good idea, too, or if you don’t have pickle relish, add 1-2 Tbsp of vinegar)
SALT and PEPPER (to taste)

How to Make Fake Potato Salad with Cauliflower

Break the cauliflower into florets and chop the stems into smaller pieces.
Steam the cauliflower for 5-8 minutes, but don’t over-steam or the cauliflower will become mushy
when mixed with the other ingredients; of course, if you prefer smooth potato salad over chunky potato salad,
then you might like the cauliflower over-steamed; just follow your heart.
Once cauliflower is steamed, set it aside to cool a bit.
While the cauliflower cools, make the dressing.
Remove the yolks from your boiled eggs and place the yolks into a small bowl.
To the yolks, add the horseradish, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish (or substitute vinegar), salt and pepper, and mix until smooth.
Into a larger bowl, add the steamed cauliflower, bell pepper, celery, parsley, and chopped egg whites.
Add in the dressing and toss until well incorporated.
It tastes great right away while it’s warm, and it will taste great later after it has been refrigerated, and if you have leftovers, it will taste even more fantastic the next day.

And that’s it.
I love the taste of cauliflower potato salad just as much as classic potato salad, probably even more now that my metabolism is slowing down and I’m counting my carbs a little more. Cauliflower is a great ingredient for low carb recipes, so definitely try substituting cauliflower for other recipes as well.
Enjoy!

For another great way to use cauliflower, try it as a pizza crust instead of flour. Take a look at the Cauliflower Crust White Pizza Recipe, try it and let me know what you think!

Cauliflower Gratin Recipe …creamy cauliflower casserole

03/05/202006/20/2017 by Chef Buck

This cauliflower gratin recipe is a tasty way to add cauliflower to your diet. This French inspired recipe is basically a veggie cheese casserole. I like to put creamy horseradish sauce in my version. I also like to add a few other veggies for color. I use red bell pepper, celery, and green onion in the video, but use whatever vegetables have in the fridge; using just a little shredded carrot will add pizzazz.

What You Need To Make a Cauliflower Gratin

2 lbs CAULIFLOWER florets
1 cup chopped veggies …like:
–CELERY
–RED PEPPER
–GREEN ONION
….but use whatever you have
2 cups whole MILK (or half and half)
5 Tbsp BUTTER
5 Tbsp FLOUR
1-2 cups freshly grated CHEESE
(I like using a combo of cheeses, some of my faves are
swiss, parmesan, gruyere, gouda, and havarti)
1 Tbsp CREAMY HORSERADISH (or 2 Tbsp?…it’s good in this dish)
1 Tbsp fancy MUSTARD
2 tsp ITALIAN SEASONING
SALT and PEPPER (to taste)

How to Cook Cauliflower Gratin

Cut the cauliflower into florets.
I like to steam the florets for 2-3 minutes, this will make the cauliflower gratin creamier. Use a steaming basket, or just place half an inch of water in a pan, cover, and steam that way for a few minutes. If you prefer your cauliflower a little firmer in your gratin,
you can skip the steaming.
Lightly butter an oven safe baking dish. Check here to see current prices for a casserole baking dish on Amazon.
Arrange the cauliflower florets on the bottom.
Add about 1 cup of assorted, chopped veggies on top, for color and added texture.
In a sauce pan, melt butter.
On medium heat, add in the flour with the butter and stir for about 1 minute.
Add in half the milk (or Half and Half), and continue stirring.
As the mixture thickens, add in the rest of the milk and whisk smooth.
Add in salt and pepper to taste, and dried Italian seasoning.
Add in half of the freshly grated cheese, stir until melted, and remove from the heat.
Evenly pour the creamy, cheesy mixture over the top of the cauliflower/veggie mix.
Top the gratin with the remainder of the cheese (although you can reserve a bit of cheese for topping at the end, if desired)
Bake 25-35 minutes in an oven pre-heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
When the cauliflower gratin begins to color nicely on top, it’s ready.
Garnish with extra cheese or fresh herbs.

And that’s it. Enjoy!

Broccoli Cheese and Cauliflower Gratin Recipe

01/07/202406/05/2015 by Chef Buck

Try this easy, semi-healthy broccoli and cauliflower gratin recipe. A gratin is typically a bready-cheesy-toasty topping, and it’s a great way to jazz up broccoli and cauliflower. Just broccoli cheese is nice, but adding cauliflower kinda smooths out the taste. This is a cheesy dish without being overly cheesy, and not overcooking the vegetables will add awesome texture.

Broccoli Cheese Cauliflower Gratin Recipe Ingredients:

2 cups BROCCOLI FLORETS
2 cups CAULIFLOWER FLORETS
1 cups MONTEREY JACK (shredded)
½ cup ROMANO or PARMESAN cheese (shredded)
½ cup GREEK YOGURT
3-5 cloves GARLIC (finely chopped)
1 cup PANKO BREADCRUMBS
2 Tbsp BUTTER
SALT and PEPPER to taste

Broccoli Cheese Cauliflower Gratin Recipe Directions:

Grate the cheese. I like the Monterey Jack and Romano cheese combo, but any kind of cheese or cheeses will do, so use your favorite. In a small bowl, combine the cheese and yogurt, and add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

Trim fresh broccoli and cauliflower into similar sized florets so they will cook evenly.

In a small skillet, melt butter and saute garlic for about 1 minute.
Stir bread crumbs into the garlic and butter; I like panko bread crumbs for gratins.
The bread crumbs will soak up the butter. Mix well and set aside.

Steam veggies on the stove top in a steaming basket, or just add ½ inch of water to the bottom of a pan and steam. 4 to 6 minutes of steaming is generally what I like; veggies with a bit or crunch are more vibrant, soggy veggies are sad.

Drain broccoli and cauliflower well and place steamed veggies into a baking dish. Check here for current prices for a casserole baking dish on Amazon.

Add salt and pepper.
Top the veggies with the cheese and yogurt topping, then top the dish with the garlic and butter bread crumbs.

Bake in an oven preheated to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bake until the breadcrumb topping is toasted. This will only take a few minutes, so watch the dish closely.

That’s it. Serve hot, dude.
Give this Broccoli Cheese Cauliflower Gratin a try and let me know what you think, and bon appétit!

Cauliflower Recipe -quick cook in the skillet

06/01/202002/20/2013 by Chef Buck

This quick cook cauliflower recipe is an easy way to get healthy veggies on your dinner plate–including lots of garlic, which is always a good idea, right? Lemon zest adds terrific flavor and nutrition to this dish. Cauliflower is a great ingredient because it brings tons of nutrition to the table without being overpowering, so it can be used in many different types of recipes.

Cauliflower Recipe Ingredients

1 head CAULIFLOWER (cut into florets)
1 bulb of GARLIC (finely chopped)
1 cup ONION (chopped)
½ cup PEPPERS (sliced)
3 Tbsp OLIVE OIL
zest of 1 LEMON …current prices online for Kitchen Zesters
2 Tbsp LEMON JUICE
SALT and PEPPER (to taste)
WATER (as needed)

How to Cook Cauliflower Recipe

In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium high heat and add cauliflower florets. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the cauliflower hits the pan.
Sear the florets for 3-4 minutes —keep them moving enough not to burn, but let them rest long enough to get a nice seared edge where possible. The florets will soak up the oil pretty quick—add water sparingly when needed.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion. Mix and give the onion a minute head start before adding the garlic and peppers.
Add salt to taste and continue sautéing the vegetables for 1-2 minutes.
Then add ¼ cup of water, cover, and cook 2 minutes.
After 2 minutes, add black pepper, lemon zest and juice, mix, and remove from heat.

At this point, all of your cauliflower dreams will be coming true. Give this cauliflower recipe a try and let me know what you think, and…Bon appétit! Need a nice skillet? Check current prices for skillets on Amazon.

Gobi Matar Cauliflower Curry Recipe

04/16/202102/20/2013 by Chef Buck

Try this flavorful Indian gobi matar recipe with cauliflower and green peas. I use a mix of spices to create my own masala for this vegetarian recipe, but you can substitute a store-bought pre-made curry spice mix. This spicy vegan cauliflower curry makes a great side dish or entrée.

What You Need To Make Gobi Matar

1 CAULIFLOWER (cut into florets)
1 15oz can DICED TOMATOES (or 2 med tomatoes)
1 8oz can GREEN PEAS
1 large ONION (chopped)
1 HOT PEPPER (finely chopped)
1 Tbsp GINGER (finely chopped)
5-7 GARLIC cloves (finely chopped)
1 Tbsp CHILI POWDER (sub cumin powder for less heat)
1 Tbsp CUMIN SEEDS
1 Tbsp TURMERIC POWDER
1 Tbsp CORIANDER POWDER
2 tsp GARAM MASALA (optional)
3 Tbsp OIL for cooking
¼ cup WATER
SALT (to taste)

Check out current prices for Indian Cooking Spices on Amazon.

How To Make Cauliflower Curry

In a skillet or pot, heat oil on medium high heat.
Add cumin seeds. Seeds will brown and crack quickly, so almost immediately add onion.
Add onion and stir.
Cook 1 minute and then add ginger, garlic, and hot pepper.
Continue cooking until onions are soft.
Add turmeric, chili, and coriander powder and mix well.
Stir in tomatoes and continue cooking 4-5 minutes.
Add salt to taste.
Add tomatoes. If using fresh tomato, as tomatoes cook down I like to crush them with a spoon.
Stir in cauliflower florets.
Add water and bring dish to a bubble, then reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and let cook 4-5 minutes. I don’t want to cook all the nutrients out of the cauliflower, and I like my florets to still have a bit of crunch to them, so I simmer my cauliflower for only a few minutes.
When the cauliflower is almost cooked to your liking, add garam masala and green peas.
Mix and continue cooking until peas are heated through.

And that’s it, your cauliflower and peas are transformed into a delicious vegetable curry.
