This collection of Easy Vegan Cauliflower Recipes showcases some creative ways to enjoy the healthy cruciferous vegetable.
Cauliflower is all the rage these days.
From "rice" to pizza crust, it seems like there isn't anything this unassuming vegetable can't do.
It can take on other flavors and textures and works well in a variety of cuisines from Mexican to Indian.
Growing up, I didn't eat much cauliflower, but now I buy it all the time.
And it's easy to find all year long at supermarkets.
Since I cook with it so frequently, I decided to create a collection of my favorite easy vegan cauliflower recipes.
Why choose cauliflower?
Besides being a versatile ingredient that can be eaten raw or cooked, cauliflower has a myriad of health benefits.
It's low in calories, high in fiber, and is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals.
Because it can replace grains and starches in many recipes, some people like to add it to their diet to aid in weight loss.
