Low-Carb Vegetable Dishes

Vegetables are an important part of a low-carb diet. Here are lots of ideas and recipes to bring more delicious vegetables into your life.
Mashed Cauliflower (Cauliflower Puree)
Pureed or mashed cauliflower is a great substitute for mashed potatoes. Low in carbs and high in nutrients, the "cauli-taste" is very mild.
Old World Cabbage and Pepper Saute

Asian Broccoli Stir Fry

Mushrooms and Peppers in Garlic and Wine

Garlic Green Beans with Pine Nuts

Cauliflower "Rice"

Mediterranean Summer Vegetables
Nothing says "late summer" to me like cooking up a mix of farm-fresh eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, and squash, and seasoning it in a Mediterranean way. It's like the summer sun has been captured on my plate! This is similar to ratatouille, but has a slightly different texture and flavors. It is great cold as a salad the next day, or reheat for an omelet filling.
Mom's Prize-Winning Zucchini Casserole
My mother's original of this zucchini casserole won an award in the 1960's - we had a plaque hanging in our kitchen. This works with any kind of zucchini or green summer squash, including a combination of squashes.
Italian Squash Casserole

Southwest Squash Casserole
This summer squash casserole actually comes out somewhat like a corn casserole. The yellow squash is put through a food processor, giving it more of a corn-like consistency.
Sugar-Free Sweet Potato Casserole
A sugar-free version of the traditional holiday sweet potato or yam casserole, with a pecan topping.
Green Bean Casserole with Onion Topping
A low carb adaptation of the classic green bean casserole with onion topping.
