Keto Baked Stuffed Whole Cauliflower

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is essential - doing so prior to cooking allows for even cooking and the perfect texture of the cauliflower.

Clean the cauliflower and remove the green leaves. Then, hollow it out by scooping the core. Be cautious here, you want to hollow out enough to stuff but don't want to break the cauliflower.

Brush the cauliflower with olive oil, and sprinkle it with half the cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. From experience, doing this affords that great depth of flavor to every bite.

Place the cauliflower in a baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until it becomes tender. It should not be too soft that it loses its structure, but just soft enough to easily dig in with a fork.

While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the stuffing. Sauté the onions, bell peppers, and garlic until they soften. Add the tomatoes, cooked quinoa, remaining cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Stir it well, cook for another 5 minutes. Your kitchen will be filled with a lovely aroma that can make the neighbors envious!

Once the cauliflower is done, carefully stuff it with the quinoa mixture. Stuff it well, so every slice will be hearty and flavorful.

Bake the stuffed cauliflower for another 10-15 minutes. It should be golden and crisp on the outside.

Allow it to cool slightly, garnish with fresh coriander. From my personal experience, the hit of fresh herbs really elevates the final taste of the dish.

Cut the cauliflower into quarters and serve.
