“This steak, cauli puree and broccoli with browned butter is a delicious, yet simple meal that makes a lovely date-night option if you are watching your carb intake. It is also special enough to put out as a dinner party treat for visiting friends. The vegetables can be made at the same time and kept in a warm oven while you turn your attention to the steaks. This creation involves some multi-tasking and several pans on the hob at the same time, but it’s worth it! Don’t skip the step where we brown the butter. It’s that intoxicating flavour that makes the whole dish sing! – Monya

Cajun Chicken and Cauliflower with Creamy Lime Drizzle Keto

“Traybakes are a delight, but they aren’t always straightforward because some elements require longer cooking than others. In this recipe, I cook the chicken pieces for a bit, then add the cauliflower after a while. This results in sufficiently cooked chicken and tender cauliflower. Don’t skip the creamy lime drizzle because it’s a lovely and cooling accompaniment for this spicy dish. – Monya

“Since lamb pairs so well with rosemary, I created a creamy rosemary cauliflower bake to serve alongside lamb chops. My favourite part, however, is the simple ‘salsa’ of diced tomato and crushed garlic that is served with the lamb. Not only does it add a fresh and sweet element – but it cuts through the richness of the whole dish! – Monya

Spicy Cajun Chicken and Cauliflower Tray Bake (Keto)

Spicy Cajun Chicken and Cauliflower Tray Bake Keto

“I have been wanting to make my own Cajun spice mix for a while now because I read the label of my store-bought bottle and noticed sugar present. In the interest of keeping the rest of this dish super-simple, I simply scatter it over cauliflower and chicken drumsticks before baking. If three drumsticks per person seems too much for your daily protein, just keep the extra for lunch the next day. The lime and sour cream sauce is a lovely, soothing drizzle over the dish, so don’t skip it! This is perfect with a scattering of finely chopped coriander (cilantro). Enjoy!” – Monya

Cauliflower Steaks with Smoked Paprika Butter (Keto)

Cauliflower Steaks with Smoked Paprika Butter Keto

“I love vegetables and never run out of ways to create interesting side dishes to enjoy alongside our meat or fish. Cauliflower is one of my favourite. Here, I simply cooked two ‘steaks’ (intact pieces cut from the centre of a large head) and made a quick, tasty butter using smoked paprika. Smoked paprika has an intense and important flavour and quite different to regular paprika, so please try and source it. Scatter over some strong cheese and allow the whole lot to melt before tucking in. Lush! Be sure to check out all the Side Dish ideas on the site.” – Monya

Cajun Cauliflower Bake (Keto)

Cajun Cauliflower Bake Keto

“I never run out of ideas for making interesting side dishes to enjoy alongside meat or fish. I love vegetables and believe its where you can get really creative. It’s also where most of your daily allocated carbs should be coming from. More so, this is where your fibre comes from. Here, I coat cauliflower florets in a spicy Cajun spice mix and roast them until done. To add additional flavour and a creamy mouthfeel, I drizzle over a mix of double cream and sour cream before cooking for a few more minutes. This Cajun cauliflower side dish is so packed with flavour and spice, I advise it’s served alongside simple roasted chicken thighs or pork chops.” – Monya

Cauliflower Rice (Keto)

Cauliflower Rice Keto

“This is a nifty way to mimic rice when you are serving a dish that needs sauces mopped up. I cooked down onions and garlic to add more flavour before adding and cooking the blitzed cauliflower. It’s high in fibre and filling. You can play around and pimp it using different freshly chopped herbs or flavoured oils, but this recipe below is a good ‘base’, so go wild. Be sure to also check out my Creamy Keto Cauliflower Mash.” – Monya

Coconut-roasted Cauliflower (Keto)

Coconut-roasted Cauliflower Keto

“I love Coconut-roasted Broccoli and doing the same thing with cauliflower is equally incredible! At only two-ingredients, this will likely be a favourite in your home. This recipe will serve 3 people as a side veg option on a keto diet, but Funnyman and I scoff the whole lot between the two of us quite often. He has both dishes waxed, so these are the nights I put my feet up and do nothing but watch him cook for ME for a change.” – Monya

Creamy Cauliflower Mash (Keto)

Cauliflower Mash Keto

“Some may turn their nose up at mashing cauliflower to mimic The Great Potato, but you may just be converted. I didn’t just stop at using a potato masher, I added full-fat cream cheese and blitzed the mixture into a creamy puree. All it needed was a little seasoning and it’s perfect as a side dish. You could also use it like I did to top my Keto Seafood Bake and Spicy Keto Cottage Pie.” – Monya

“I know I am coming late to the cauliflower-crust pizza, but I wanted to try it myself and develop a recipe that is tasty and works! Follow my version below and your gut will thank you. It’s not only high in fibre, but with the addition of low carb toppings, you could fool yourself that you are having The Real Thing. 1 pizza = 2 servings, and it comes in at 11g carbs per serving (including toppings). If you aren’t convinced, try out my Fathead Pizza Base, which is just as delicious!” – Monya
