Low-carb cauliflower stuffing that’s grain-free and gluten-free with cauliflower rice. Made in one-pan on the stovetop for a quick nutritious holiday side.
True story: I never liked stuffing.
I did not like it here or there,
I did not like it ANYWHERE.
I’m trying to pinpoint why I didn’t like it at such a young age, but all I came up with is that it was too bread-y, or herb-y, or SOMETHING for my palette.
I always had a sad soggy lump of it on my Thanksgiving plate long after the cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole, and green beans had disappeared, leaving only traces of their appeal in bits smudges of red, orange, and green.
But what if you could eat the rainbow in your stuffin’, too?
This Stovetop Cauliflower Rice Stuffing is both grain-free and gluten-free, packed with savory herbs and veggies, and made exceptionally easy in just one pan.
Let’s get stuffing!

How to Make Stovetop Cauliflower Rice Stuffing
I used Cece’s Veggie Co. Organic Riced Cauliflower as the easy base to this stuffing to tie all of those groovy veggie chunks together.
If you can’t find Cece’s Veggie Co. cauliflower rice near you, try ricing your own cauliflower or sub chopped cauliflower instead for the same great flavor.
Next, load it up with chopped onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and extra chopped cauliflower for that chunky “stuffing” feel.
An enticing mixture of parsley, rosemary, and sage compliment the veggies without being overpowering.
A splash of veggie broth and a pinch of salt and pepper later, you have yourself a stupendous stuffing!
How to Serve Stovetop Cauliflower Rice Stuffing
This Stovetop Cauliflower Rice Stuffing is the perfect veg-packed side dish to add to your holiday spread!
Because this recipe is allergen-free, gluten-free, grain-free, vegan, and paleo, it’s ideal for all of the different eaters at your table.
Serve a big spoonful along side your main meal and continue to enjoy it as the dependable base for leftovers days after the feast.
If you’re looking for more texture and intrigue, try adding in dried cranberries and pecans for texture, sweetness, and crunch.
I love mine with a smattering of fresh herbs as a part of the feast, but it’s also great post-holiday for leftover T-day bowls!

The best ANYTIME stuffing ever! I made it in place of my traditional macadamia nut stuffing and was NOT DISAPPOINTED! The pungent aroma of the herbs and veggies was an overpowering delight. I couldn’t stop ‘tasting” it before I got it to the stove!! The only downside for me was all the chopping but the end result was worth it!
