What does Florentine style mean?

In this recipe and other recipes that refer to Italian style main dish, this means that it contains spinach.

Spinach is usually simmered in butter in these dishes. Sometimes grated cheese is also added in to those dishes.

Keto Cauliflower Florentine ingredients

• Cauliflower. I used fresh cauliflower. Dont see any problem using frozen vegetable, just cook it for couple minutes longer
• Spinach. Baby spinach or regular spinach, it doesn't really matter.
• Butter. Pasture raised will be best.
• Broth. If you want to keep the dish vegetarian, use vegetable broth. Its totally a personal preference.
• Spices. Here i used simple spices like salt, pepper and garlic
• Cream. Heavy cream is the best but you can totally use half and half instead. Even milk will work but the sauce will not be as creamy.

You can make this recipe just like its written in the recipe card. OR you can cook it according to my step by step photos. I first sauteed cauliflower, that set it aside and cooked spinach with butter separately.

Added cream and then combined it with cooked cauliflower. Both instructions are right, so its up to you.

Keto or low carb diet should not be boring. There is SO MANY RECIPES for it! Cauliflower is the queen of KETO, so as zucchini. They are naturaly low in carbs and super easy to cook. Try my Keto meatball casserole with zucchini or Keto cauliflower taco casserole. They are so good and will keep you full for a long time.

If you prefer your low carb Florentine creamy, make sure to use heavy cream and not regular milk. If you feel fancy, add some grated Parmesan cheese, at the same time you add cream.

Cooking Florentine on the skillet is as easy as baking it in the oven.
