CAULIFLOWER STUFFING INGREDIENTS:
This low carb stuffing contains fresh veggies and herbs. The main ingredient is fresh cauliflower. To add an aromatic flavor, I used a good amount of onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. I also added a generous amount of fall herbs; sage, thyme, rosemary, and poultry seasoning.
In this recipe, I used fresh herbs, except for the poultry seasoning that comes in a ground form. Dried herbs can also be used as an alternative.

This stuffing is so easy to make! It can be done in a skillet, and takes less than 30 minutes!
- First, I cook the mirepoix; onion, garlic, carrot, and celery for about 10 minutes at low heat. These essential ingredients play an important role in flavoring the stuffing.
- Secondly, I cook the cauliflower and mushroom for about 9-10 minutes.
- Lastly, I add broth, herbs, salt, and pepper. I then continue cooking until the liquid is absorbed and the cauliflower is tender.
