18 Cauliflower Rice Recipes That'll Make You Forget All About the Grain

Cauliflower is a versatile veggie that can shine in many forms. We love it roasted, raw, mashed—the list goes on. You’ve probably heard of cauliflower crust pizza and even Buffalo cauliflower, as healthy cauliflower recipes abound. But have you made riced cauliflower yet? Once you’ve mastered how to make cauliflower rice, you won’t stop. One way we love it is in this cheesy chicken and cauliflower rice skillet bake. It's a healthier (and gluten-free!) version of the classic casserole, jam-packed with vegetables while still boasting the flavors you know and love. The usual condensed soup is swapped out for low-fat Greek yogurt, and riced cauliflower subs in for the typical grain.

This recipe shows how simple it is to turn cauliflower florets into a healthy, low-carb meal or side dish. With the olive oil and browned onions, the cauliflower has enough flavor to satisfy by itself, and it can also be a base for stir-fries, beans and rice, and a whole lot more.

Cauliflower can be sneaky — especially when it subs for corn in grits. Whether you're not a fan of regular grits or you're looking to add more vegetables to your diet, riced cauliflower simmered in water and finished with butter and Parmesan is an impressive alternative to the real thing.

Studded with raisins, lemon zest and pine nuts, this fluffy pilaf makes a flavorful, high-fiber side for chicken, salmon and pork.
