Keto Twice-Baked Cauliflower is the perfect substitute for mashed potato lovers. This side dish is not only flavorful, it is low carb friendly and gluten-free.
Some of you may not be sold on using cauliflower to replace potatoes. On a low carb plan, we are always looking for foods that can substitute the foods that aren’t allowed. Cauliflower is very low in carbs and easy to incorporate to your favorite dishes. This recipe is packed with all the same ingredients as a loaded potato without all the starches.
If you living a low-carb lifestyle or Keto diet, cauliflower is pretty much a staple in your meals. I use it for any side dish to replace rice, pizza crusts and one of my favorite recipes, Cauliflower Sausage Casserole.
