Cauliflower Poutine

Aryn

I love poutine and this cauliflower poutine is a lower carb version of the classic. It has steamed or baked cauliflower in place of the fried potatoes and then it gets topped with the delicious poutine gravy and cheese curds. If you are wanting extra protein you can cook up some chicken breast and add it to the mix.

This recipe still hits the spot for a good poutine but without the carbohydrates from the potatoes. If you are wanting to make a potato version you can check out my air fryer poutine recipe here. I like to make both of these recipes at the same time, I cut the cauliflower amount in half and then I can serve my husband the potato version because he loves it and I serve myself the lower carb version without really any extra effort.

This recipe makes a little extra gravy because I would rather there be too much than not enough. The leftovers can be saved or even frozen for future use.

What you need to make this cauliflower poutine:

Serves 4

2 -12 ounce bags frozen cauliflower

For the gravy:

  5. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Whisk together the cornstarch and milk and add to gravy.
  7. Whisk until mixture starts to thicken slightly.
  8. Pour gravy cauliflower, top with desired amount of gravy and desired amount of cheese curds.
  9. If adding cooked chicken, add that too.
  10. Optional step: Turn the oven on broil and stick the poutine under the broiler for 2 minutes for melted cheese.
