CACIO E PEPE
BRUSSELS SPROUTS

LIZ ANDREW/ERIN MCDOWELL

The simple combo of black pepper & cheese instantly elevates pretty much every veggie, plus it's low carb & flavorful to boot.

01

TURNIP FRIES

LIZ ANDREW/ERIN MCDOWELL

See ya later, spuds. These crispy turnip fries are just as tasty as everyone's favorite side dish, but a whole lot healthier.

02

INA GARTEN'S ROASTED BROCCOLINI & CHEDDAR

QUENTIN BACON/MODERN COMFORT FOOD

This sheet pan wonder is a play on the classic broccoli with cheese sauce, but for adults.

03

CHILLED CUCUMBER
SALAD

ERIN MCDOWELL

When it's too hot to cook, don't. All you have to do is slice some cukes, season them and then let it all marinate in the fridge for a bit.

04

CAULIFLOWER 'POTATO' SALAD

LIZ ANDREW/ERIN MCDOWELL

This version of the cookout staple subs potato for cauliflower & is dressed with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, making it lower in fat, too.

05

KALE AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS CAESAR SALAD

ANA CUBA/THE MODERN COOK'S YEAR

The dressing is based on the flavors of a Caesar salad dressing, but uses soaked nuts & seeds as a base.

06

CACIO E PEPE
CAULIFLOWER

LIZ ANDREW/ERIN MCDOWELL

Wait, this luscious, cheesy dish is on your diet? Believe it. It's all thanks to cauliflower, which is a blank slate just like pasta–minus the carbs.
