Since you guys loved my 15 Easy Ways To Use A Can of Chickpeas so much, I knew I had to share another version with one of my all-time favourite vegetables: Cauliflower! Cauliflower is one of the most versatile veggies. From Buffalo cauliflower wings to cauliflower rice and a crudités platter, you can have it raw, roast it, steam it, mash it, bake it, fry it – even use it in a pizza dough! I could eat these cauliflower recipes every single day and not get bored.

If you’re new to cooking with cauliflower, I recommend my orange cauliflower bites or this crispy bang bang cauliflower. The flavours will blow you away. Enjoy friends!

Why These Cauliflower Recipes are My Favourites

  • So many possibilities. Cauliflower is one of the easiest ingredients to manipulate and one of the most forgiving. If you overcook your cauliflower, use it in a mashed or blended recipe instead!
  • Affordable. Cauliflower is relatively inexpensive, and you can stretch a head of cauliflower into several meals.
  • Easy. The recipes below are easy to make, even for beginner cooks! Once you’ve tasted one, I just know you’ll want to try them all.

FAQ: Can I Freeze Cauliflower?

Yes! Not only can you freeze it, but you can also freeze every single one of the recipes above. You can even swap frozen cauliflower for fresh in many cases.

Just let it thaw properly overnight in your fridge, or boil it and drain it. For the cauliflower wings, you’ll want to bake them for about 15 minutes first to dry out the excess water, pat them dry thoroughly, then proceed with the rest of the recipe.
