Low Carb Vegetarian Cauliflower Risotto

Get fancy with this filling low carb vegetarian cauliflower risotto recipe. Risotto is a Northern Italian dish that is made from rice and cooked in a variety of broths. We know rice is packed with carbs, so we wanted to change up the recipe and pack it with vegetables.

In less than 30 minutes, this alternative is full of vegetables and all the good stuff! Risotto usually takes a lot of time to prep and cook, but we have found a recipe that will be quick, easy and just as good! Although it’s not made from rice, it will still have the same concept as a delicious risotto!

What’s nice about this recipe is you can always add some protein, like chicken or turkey. We love having a vegetarian option that is low carb but doesn’t lack flavor. It’s an easy dish to bring to a dinner party, and you can always pack some meat on the side for those who want to add it to their dish.

This vegetarian risotto makes the perfect meal prep option. It stores well in the fridge so you can heat it up when you’re hungry.

  4. Add the cauliflower and stir thoroughly to make sure it is coated with the olive oil and onions. Cook the cauliflower for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, stirring and scraping the pan until the wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
