Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 large head of cauliflower, chopped into small florets (about 6 cups)

  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 2 celery stalks, chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/4 cup butter or ghee

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1 tbsp fresh sage, chopped

  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

  • 1 tsp rosemary, minced

Optional Add-ins:

  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped

  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

  • Handful of spinach

Instructions

  • Preheat oven: Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Roast cauliflower: Spread florets on the sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden.

  • Cook sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook sausage until browned and slightly crispy. Remove from pan, leaving some drippings.

  • Sauté vegetables: Add butter to the same pan. Add onion and celery, cooking for 5–6 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds.

  • Mix together: Return sausage to the pan, add roasted cauliflower, and pour in chicken broth. Stir well.

  • Season: Add parsley, thyme, sage, rosemary, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix gently.

  • Bake: Pour mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until the top is browned.

  • Rest: Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Roast cauliflower well,  it keeps the stuffing from getting mushy.

  • Use spicy sausage if you like a little heat.

  • Make it a day ahead and reheat at 350°F for 15 minutes before serving.

  • For a dairy-free version, use olive oil instead of butter.

  • Add chopped nuts for crunch or cheese for a creamy twist.
