Low Carb Cauliflower Stuffing

This low carb cauliflower stuffing (sometimes known as cauliflower dressing in other parts of the country 🙂 was a big hit at a recent Thanksgiving dinner–and for other holiday dinners since then. It’s loaded with both fresh and dried herbs, such as sage, along with onion and celery, which you’re likely to associate with traditional bread stuffing. The roasted cauliflower breaks down into rather small pieces, so except for a slight texture difference it’s easy to mistake. I’m telling you that even low carb skeptics will like it! Otherwise, it’s a perfectly yummy low-starch side for those following a prediabetes diet.

*UPDATE: Save yourself some prep time! Already riced cauliflower (either fresh or frozen–and the frozen doesn’t even need to be thawed) works just as well as cauliflower you cut up yourself.
