Cumin, turmeric, capers and garlic turn simple cauliflower into a vibrant and delicious dish you can use as a side or a vegetarian main. Cauliflower is a versatile and nutritious low-carb vegetable. With plenty of fibre, the net carbs stay low.
The cauliflower is packed with potassium, phosphorus, manganese, magnesium, iron, calcium, vitamin K, folate, choline, B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6. Bell peppers fill in the copper, vitamin C, and vitamin A. Nutritional yeast boosts B vitamins, particularly B12.
