Cauliflower doesn’t have to be served as a side dish or rice substitute – it’s a great vegetable to use in all kinds of main dishes, too. I love to use it in place of meat for healthy versions of some of my favorite comfort foods like Chinese take-out dishes, tacos, and even pasta and pizza. In this post, I’m sharing 27 cauliflower recipes that I love to make for dinner. I hope you find some new cauliflower dinner recipes to try!
