    Blitz cauliflower in a food processor until it's finely ground. Microwave with a little water for about five minutes. Serve with curry or stir fry instead of rice. It's not rice, but it's yummy

    It's okay. French fries like you, too. :)

    You can have more than one friend. Just think of it as a snack instead of a fry.

    Thank you so much for posting this. I've been looking for a low-carb alt to reg pizza crust and have heard about zucchini fries. I recently tried zucchini last wk and will comfortable w trying the fries now.

    Oh, you bet! It's great that you're trying new things. Great attitude!

    I hope you find lots of new things you love! Zucchini is great for so many things. I put it in omelets almost daily. I grate it and mix it with potatoes for good hash browns. My friend who isn't even trying to lose weight loves these so much, he freezes them already mixed in portions. It's great in casseroles and soups. Stuffed with other veggies or rice and meat or whatever you like and baked in the oven. Not to mention good ol' zucchini bread. A little google search or looking a site like allrecipes.com will get you about a bazillion recipes. : )

    Thanks for the recipe! As a diabetic, potatoes are NOT my friend. Taters might be friends of some of you out there, but don't go getting mean on the nice OP who gave folks like me another lovely way to enjoy a snack.:smile:

    Cauliflower and potatoes certainly don't taste the same as potatoes to me, but may try this out soon anyway.

    You have just discovered you like baked cauliflower. Well done! Now try it with other veg, roasted sweet potato, potato, onion and carrots all work really well!

    Also, there is no need to omit the olive oil, IT IS GOOD FOR YOU! Please don't be fooled into thinking because fat is calorically dense that you have to leave it out of your diet. Dietary fat will not make you fat, and a lot of 'dieters' are putting their health at risk by removing very healthy unsaturated fats from their diets.

    That said, I'm glad you have some way to get some veg in your diet. Keep experimenting.

    * Alternatives to be considered are daikon, rutabagas, zucchini, , french beans, squash family and sweet potato(watch your servings though@ your physician recommended limits).
