Benefits of Cauliflower on the Keto Diet

Cauliflower is a staple on the keto diet. It is so versatile and it seems like you can turn cauliflower into anything. You can transform it into rice, soup and tater tots! It is low in carbs. There are 3 net carbs in 100 grams of cauliflower.

Not only is cauliflower low in carbs and high in fiber but it has lots of antioxidants and choline in it.

Getting the Moisture Out of the Cauliflower

You want to make sure you get as much moisture out of the steamed cauliflower as you can. Extra moisture in this dish will make the gratin soupy instead of creamy. The easiest way to squeeze out the excess water is to place the florets in between a thick layer of paper towels or a clean cloth. Then press the moisture out. Continue layering paper towels or dry clothes until the moisture is out.

Best Cheeses for Gratin

In this recipe, you can add your favorite cheeses. I like to use a combination of sharp cheddar cheese and gruyere cheese. Sharp cheddar cheese adds a lot of flavor. It is pungent and earthy. While the gruyere is nutty. It is smooth cheese so it melts easy. It is similar to swiss cheese.

  1. Made this today. It is very good, but way too powerful. I went back and added another pound of califlower and mixed it all up again and it was a much better balance. Also, it was too salty. Next time I would leave the salt out completely. Between the butter, bacon and cheese, it is salty enough. With that said it was delicious and so filling. It kept me full and not eating a bunch of other junk for hours. The guyere and thyme makes this so great.

  2. This sounds perfect for my keto diet but even for company. I think it could be used for broccoli too, don’t you think? I am hoping to try it soon. Loved the video about 10 things to keep in your fridge, never knew about macadamia milk and will try that. Thanks I ve just suscribed.

  3. What size casserole dish do you use? I will need to double the recipe for Thanksgiving so want to use a large enough dish. Thanks!

  4. How far ahead do you make this recipe? Do you bake it and leave it in the refrigerator and then bake in oven again to heat it up when you want to serve it?

  5. This recipe is delicious! The whole family loved it. I roasted the cauliflower instead of steaming to avoid issues with moisture. It was perfect.

  6. This recipe was perfect! I cooked a head of cauliflower for 2 minutes in my instapot. I am excited to try more recipes!!😊
