Slow Cooker Curried Cauliflower Recipe

Let's say that you've grown tired of having chicken tikka masala for lunch as if that would ever happen(!), and you are looking for a change. We'll leave the ginger, coconut milk, and some fragrant spices in this dish, but omit the chicken in favor of cauliflower for a lighter meal.

What we end up with, is a side dish that greatly desires to be the change in your vegetable-conscious household. If you have never ventured into sampling curried purple sweet potatoes, you'll want to get on that, too, starting with the next meal!

Cauliflower is renowned in the gluten-free Paleo keto world, for its low carbs, yet it subtly offers so much more than that. It is a cruciferous vegetable that is extremely versatile - while it can be made into a pizza crust, mashed "potatoes", or tortillas, it can also be riced and made into a delicious hummus, or added to soups.

Versatility aside, cauliflower brings an array of antioxidants to the plate, alongside numerous vitamins and minerals like vitamin C and vitamin K . It may help boost your memory and brain function, at the same time acting as an anti-inflammatory.

The next time you are searching for enticing recipes with cauliflower as the main ingredient, why not try a warming bowl of cauliflower chowder, coconut milk, and Indian spices included?
