Cauliflower is an underrated veggie, and that’s sad because it’s really good for you!

They taste great, are super healthy, and are super easy to make.
There are plenty of vegan lasagna recipes here, plenty of raw pizza crusts and taco bowls, and even a few cauliflower tacos.
So if you’re looking for something a little different for lunch or dinner, try one of these raw cauliflower recipes today.
1. Roasted Cauliflower
Cauliflower rice is one of the best things about living in the US.
But it’s also a lot harder to make than, say, brown rice.
That’s why I love this roasted cauliflower recipe. It gives you a taste of home with that same creamy texture and color.
Rather than relying on store-bought sweeteners or pectin, this homemade recipe uses honey for sweetness.
It melts at the right temperature, so everything is just as tender as it should be.
If you have time to prep ahead of time, go ahead and make your own cauliflower florets for this recipe.
They will cook down faster and look more natural without being cooked in oil.
2. Cauliflower Rice
This versatile and nutritious side dish will become a staple in your kitchen.
It’s great with any meat or fish, but it’s especially good with tofu.
If you have a few extra minutes, here’s how to make cauliflower rice.
It takes a bit of time, but it’s well worth the effort.
And if you don’t have some fresh herbs on hand, feel free to use frozen!
Cauliflower has so many uses, and this recipe shows you how easy it is to jazz up your meals.
3. Cauliflower Fried Rice
Cauliflower rice is usually more of a side dish, but this week, I’m going to be serving it up in a main course!
This fried rice is so easy and so good.
It’s not just healthy but also very filling!
It’s made from cauliflower florets, which means you get the best of both worlds.
Plus, it only takes about 30 minutes to make, so it’s perfect for busy evenings.
4. Cauliflower Pizza Crust
If you’re looking for a healthier pizza alternative, this recipe is the way to go.
It has the same crispy crust and cheesy goodness as any other pizza.
Plus, it’s a cinch to make!
You only need five ingredients and 15 minutes of your time.
All you need is cauliflower!
The recipe calls for mozzarella, but you can use any cheese that you like.
However, this isn’t just a pizza option; it will also work well with chicken parmesan or even prosciutto.
5 . Cauliflower Steaks with Lemon and Garlic
For me, cauliflower steak is like a cross between roast beef and chicken.
It’s tender and juicy but with a crisp outer crust that doesn’t overpower the flavor.
If you want to add some spice, there are plenty of herbs to go around, too.
In fact, they’re so good that you might find yourself adding more than one slice (or two).
6. Cauliflower Pizza Crusts with Peppers and Cheese
There’s nothing quite like a homemade pizza!
But what about making it vegan-friendly? Enter, cauliflower pizza crusts with lots of pepper and cheese.
This recipe is vegetarian-friendly because the cauliflower crust is made without any eggs.
The filling is made of shiitake mushrooms, bell peppers , onions, garlic, and nutritional yeast.
It has all the flavor of traditional pizza but without all the fat and calories!
7. Cauliflower Soup
Cauliflower is full of nutrition and, when paired with other ingredients, can be a tasty and healthy alternative to starchy root vegetables.
This soup recipe combines cauliflower florets and carrots for the base along with celery and garlic powder.
The result is a chunky, creamy soup that’s perfect for chilly nights.
It has an earthy taste that pairs well with the freshest veggies.
The slight kick from the chili sauce makes it extra satisfying!
8. Roasted Cauliflower Salad
No matter the time of year, cauliflower is a great choice when you want something healthy but not boring.
This salad is just as spectacular as it sounds, with creamy avocado and roasted cauliflower.
It’s also loaded with fresh herbs and seasonings to make every bite taste like spring.
Plus, it’s easy to make and perfect for any occasion!
9. Raw Vegan Lasagna with Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli
Vegan lasagna is so easy to make and has a ton of great texture.
I love the roasted cauliflower mix here because its fleshy texture adds a lovely contrast to the smooth sauce.
And don’t worry, the broccoli isn’t cooked at all.
You’ll just saute it in some oil until crisp-tender before adding it to the baked lasagna.
This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights when you want something super tasty but friendly to eat on the go.
10. Raw Vegan Caesar Salad with Cauliflower Rice
Looking for a salad that’s lower in sodium and higher in protein?
This raw vegan Caesar salad is exactly what you need.
Just add cauliflower rice to the mix, and you have a healthy and delicious salad.
Each bite has crisp celery, creamy dressing, and crunchy croutons.
This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower rice from your veggie rotisserie! It’s perfect for vegans who don’t eat meat.
11. Raw Thai Curry Cauliflower Rice Bowls
This Thai curry cauliflower rice bowl is one of my favorite vegan dishes because it’s so delicious and easy to make!
The sauce is a blend of coconut milk, fish sauce, palm sugar, chili paste, garlic powder, cilantro, and lime juice.
It’s savory and has such a light texture.
As for the cauliflower rice itself?
It’s packed with umami flavors thanks to the fermented red cabbage you add to it.
How amazing does that sound?
12. Raw Roasted Cauliflower Tacos
I’m a huge fan of cauliflower tacos!
You can make them with ground beef or chicken, but the texture and flavor are excellent on it.
Plus, they’re just so easy to make. You bake the cauliflower, then chop it into perfect little cubes.
Then, you coat them in a spicy avocado-y sauce and grill them until golden brown.
Be sure to add lots of fresh veggies – bell peppers, onions, tomatoes – because without them, this is basically just a taco.
Serve these tacos with your favorite salsa for an extra special treat!
