Cauliflower is a real go-to veggie in any low carb eating plan. It has a distinctive flavor of its own, yet it goes well with cheese, garlic, various spices, chicken, and all types of meat, so the options for preparing it are practically endless. While I love many of the more involved cauliflower recipes, sometimes simple is the best. Give this recipe a try the next time you want a quick and easy side dish. You won’t be sorry!
