This AIP Cauliflower Gratin is light and delicious, and super easy to make – just add ingredients to a baking dish and bake!
I actually came up with this recipe when trying to brainstorm AIP recipes to make for the holidays that my family members wouldn’t turn their nose up at. I wanted something that is light and easy, but still gives off that comfort food vibe that so many people look forward to during the holidays. Something the non-AIPers wouldn’t even know was AIP.
Turns out, this AIP Cauliflower Gratin is delicious any day of the week! It doesn’t have to be the holidays for you to enjoy it. And it’s a recipe everyone can appreciate – whether following AIP, paleo, or neither. It can even be adapted to be vegan if you swap the bone broth for vegetable broth!
What equipment do I need?
Like I said, I wanted this AIP Cauliflower Gratin recipe to be easy, so you’ll just need some basic cooking equipment. Here’s what you’ll need:
- A chef’s knife
- This is the one I use, but really any good, sharp knife will do.
- A cutting board
- I love this huge one I have; all the extra room makes it so much easier to cut a ton of vegetables without overcrowding the cutting board.
- A 2.5 qt baking dish
- This is the one I used for this recipe.
- Measuring spoons
