This is a vegan, delicious, healthy, low-calorie, keto stir-fried cauliflower that is easy to make with pantry staples. Simple spices make this cauliflower stand out in flavors.
If you are on a low-calorie diet, or looking for a delicious side, this cauliflower will not disappoint you. The perfect crisp tender cauliflower with simple spices is a great side to serve with rotis or cooked grains. This is often my go to choice to make for a healthy side as it is quicker to make. The prep time is only for chopping the cauliflower to florets. If you buy the florets, that saves time. There is no onion or garlic to chop and hence very easy to make. The spices give immense flavor to this side. This can serve 2-4 servings as a side. This can be had as a meal by itself for a person. This can also be a delicious holiday side.
As holidays approach, I am thinking of adding more healthier foods on the menu. Lighter and healthier foods are always the best in managing a healthy weight, especially around the holiday times, as we would have fun entertaining with friends and family. Christie is hosting an event with the theme "Lighten Up", and this delicious stir-fried cauliflower is my share for the event. We share Recipes From Our Dinner Table!
