Is Cauliflower Keto?
Cauliflower is a fantastic food to enjoy while following the keto diet, because it is filling and a great substitute for higher carb foods like potatoes, bread and rice, but is MUCH lower in carbs.

Cooking up your very own batch of paleo stuffing cauliflower requires some healthy ingredients that can be found at your local grocery store or supermarket. Here’s everything you’ll need to round up before diving into this recipe:
- Olive Oil

How to make Paleo Low Carb Cauliflower Stuffing
Soften
Add the oil to a large pan and add in the onion, celery and garlic. Cook until the onions are golden brown and tender. Reduce the heat a bit, adding in the cauliflower. Stir, cooking, until the cauliflower just begins to soften.
Cook
Add in the parsley, sage, poultry seasoning, salt, and a pinch of pepper, cooking for a minute. Add in the broth and cover, cooking until the liquid is absorbed and the cauliflower is soft.
Enjoy
Season, to taste, with salt and garnish with more parsley. DEVOUR!
Top Tips for making Paleo Low Carb Cauliflower Stuffing
- Don’t set the heat too high: Cook your onions at medium-high, so that they cook evenly without burning. This will bring out lots of yummy flavor!
- Season at the end: There are some aromatic, delicious spices in this savory recipe! I do recommend, however, taste-testing the stuffing before serving and adding more salt and pepper if needed.
How to store Cauliflower Stuffing
Once you are done cooking up your delicious low carb stuffing, it’s time to enjoy it! If you happen to have leftovers, they will make for a tasty meal the next day. Simply place the leftover stuffing in an airtight container and set it in the fridge. It will last up to 5 days. To reheat, place it in a pan and heat it up over medium heat until it’s ready to eat.
Serving Suggestions
Now that you have your low carb stuffing ready to go, let’s make it a full meal! I recommend serving this recipe with a slice of golden turkey cooked to perfection, some sauteed broccolini, and finishing it off with a slice of low carb keto pumpkin cheesecake! A perfect keto friendly, scrumptious low carb meal to enjoy with your family and friends.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE cozy stuffing. It’s such a good vessel for all the gravy or even to mix with cranberry sauce. This looks so pretty Taylor!

Can i cook ahead or will the caul. be yucky if I transport elsewhere?
Taylor Kiser says
It will definitely get a lot softer if you make ahead, but the taste will still be good!

Cassie Autumn Tran says
Okay, NOT that I’d recommend eating all the stuffing in one sitting, but you totally could. If anything, that’s what I’d do if I wanted to make a whole meal for myself, hahaha!
Taylor Kiser says
HAHAHA I am RIGHT THERE with you!
Jody says
How much is 1 serving? 1/2 cup or 1 cup? Thanks!
Taylor Kiser says
Hi Jody – I don’t have exact cup measurements for you. One serving will just be 1/4 of the recipe. Hope that helps!
Rachel says
Excellent recipe. I’m bringing this dish to a big Thanksgiving dinner. Since I’m the only vegan, low-carb, no wheat- I’m sure it will be the only thing I can eat – but what a great meal it will be. Thank you!
Taylor Kiser says
I am bringing it too!! Hope you love it Rachel!!

So glad to hear that! 🙂
Hazel says
Hey! This looks amazing, can’t wait to make it. Would this recipe work with frozen cauliflower as well?
Taylor Kiser says
I don’t think so – it would change the texture! Sorry!
Mel says
I made this tonight for the hubs and myself and will definitely make it again, possibly with mushrooms next time. I adjusted the recipe slightly, using bigger chunks of cauliflower and white wine in addition to homemade chicken broth. When everything was good in the pan, I transferred everything to a baking dish, added chopped walnuts, and baked it covered, then uncovered. It turned out great and the walnuts added a nice crunch. I think next time, I might do the same for the onion and celery–adding them later for texture/crunch. Thanks for the inspiration!
Taylor Kiser says
All sounds so good! Glad you liked it!
