I recently scored a huge mom victory. After years of trying, I finally came up with a cauliflower recipe that my kids actually liked. It was these cauliflower pancakes that opened their minds at last to one of my favorite vegetables.

Now I’m on the hunt for new ways to feature cauliflower in my meal plans. This collection of 40 healthy cauliflower recipes includes some really creative dishes. My fellow bloggers have used all sorts of different seasonings and cooking methods to highlight cauliflower. From pizza crust and tortillas to steak and Chinese take-out spin offs, these recipes are all unique and full of flavor.

Most of the dishes featured here are either gluten-free or easily adapted to be gluten-free. Many are also dairy-free and vegetarian. Click on the title below each image to see the full recipe.

  1. I love cauliflower and think I pinned almost every recipe that’s on here! Pretty Bee’s cauliflower dish was a hit with my kids. Can’t wait to try more of these!

  2. This looks like an awesome round up! My kids love cauliflower…probably because it isn’t green. Can’t wait to try some of these recipes. I appreciate your including my cauliflower risotto 🙂 Sharing all around.

  3. That’s definitely a mom win – and maybe now they’ll want to try some other ways to eat cauliflower. You have a fabulous list of options to try – I want ALL of these 🙂 Thanks for including my Asian chicken chopped salad and for all the great cauliflower inspiration!

  4. Now THAT is the most extensive list for cauliflower lovers I’ve seen ever!! I’ve got to pin and bookmark this at the same time to never lose it again! Thank you Annemarie!
