Cauliflower Stuffing

Cauliflower stuffing delivers a healthy, hearty upgrade to traditional stuffing. What’s more, we make this savory side right on our stovetop–in just one pot! While we always serve this yummy side dish during the holidays, we also like to enjoy it year round.

How To Make This Recipe

From a flavor and texture standpoint, we’re bringing generous amount of non-dairy butter to keep our stuffing rich and tender. When we don’t have non-dairy butter handy, we’ll use coconut oil instead. Cauliflower absorbs flavors, so we bring a big helping of fresh thyme and oregano to this dish. Use dried herbs or poultry seasoning if you must, but nothing beats that fresh flavor.

We like to use a non-stick skillet for this low carb recipe because we’re not concerned with a crispy finish to our stuffing. However, if you prefer a crispy finish, use an oven-safe skillet and broil for just a few minutes after it’s finished cooking on the stovetop.

WFPB (Oil-Free) Variation

To keep this dish oil-free, simply sauté your vegetables in a thin layer of vegetable broth or water in lieu of non-dairy butter or coconut oil. Your cauliflower stuffing will still taste great. If your vegetables start to stick to the pan, just continue adding a little more broth or water as you sauté them. In this version, we highly recommend using a stove-top only preparation with non-stick cookware.

Sauté Vegetables

We start by melting our non-dairy butter (or use broth for oil-free variation as mentioned above) in a large skillet over medium heat. Then, we sauté our onions and carrots until soft and lightly brown.

Next, we add in our vegetables–artichoke hearts, cauliflower florets, and mushrooms. We then add our herbs and spices. By gently mixing, we distribute our flavors as our vegetables continue to cook.

Simmer In Broth

After 5 minutes, we pour in our vegetable broth and allow those vegetables cook gently over low heat. We then give it a little taste and adjust our seasonings as desired. Our vegetables continue to simmer until all of the liquid either absorbs or evaporates.

Ready To Serve

Once the liquid fully absorbs, our cauliflower stuffing is ready. We pour it into a large serving dish and finish with a smattering of freshly chopped parsley.

We recommend serving this gluten-free dish warm. Now grab a fork and enjoy that cauliflower stuffing.
