11of 21Cheesy Cauliflower Steak PizzasPhotographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall, Prop Stylist: Phoebe HauserWe ditch traditional pizza crust in favor of cauliflower “steaks” for these cheesy pizzas. The steaks are cooked just enough to develop a sweet roasted flavor that pairs beautifully with the toppings. While we love this veggie-packed version, you can top your cauliflower-steak pizza with just about anything. You’ll have leftover cauliflower after cutting the steaks. Enjoy it raw in a chopped salad, or save the florets for roasting the following day.View Recipe

A combination of garam masala, curry powder and cumin adds to the complex flavor. If you don’t have any garam masala on hand, you can swap it out for additional curry powder. We love how brown rice soaks up the sauce, but you could easily skip the rice and serve this with warm whole-wheat naan instead.View Recipe

16of 21Panko-Crusted Cauliflower SteaksGreg DuPreeIn this fork-tender cauliflower recipe, heads of cauliflower are cut into slabs then roasted and topped with a cheesy, crunchy panko topping. Pair cauliflower steaks with roasted or grilled meats, or serve them on their own as a vegetarian main dish. Each head of cauliflower will provide 2 to 3 steaks—the sides tend to crumble.

20of 21Lemony Lentil & Cauliflower Cup SoupPhotographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall , Prop Stylist: Shell RoysterThis bright lemony soup gets its boost of fiber and earthy, nutty flavor from ingredients like lentils and bulgur. Bulgur adds heartiness and a nice chewy texture, but you can swap it out for another cooked grain like brown rice or quinoa. Plus, the broth gets gentle heat from harissa paste. If you don’t wish to travel with vegetable broth or don’t have access to a microwave, you can use reduced-sodium bouillon instead and just add hot water.View Recipe
