    Can Ranch Keto Cauliflower Casserole Be Frozen?

    It sure can! You can actually do this two different ways. You can allow the baked casserole to cool completely, place in an airtight container, and freezer for up to a couple months.

    For a great meal prep idea, you can also assemble the casserole and freeze it before it's baked. When you're ready, you can take it straight out of the freezer and bake it on 350F degrees until warm and bubbly.

    Is Cauliflower Keto? What are the Carbs in Cauliflower?

    Cauliflower is a Keto super food! It's very healthy, low carb, packed with nutrients, fiber and antioxidants. There are many health benefits to cauliflower you can read more about in this article on Healthline!

    Cauliflower does contain a few carbohydrates, but the amount of carbs is much lower than that found in potatoes and other starchy vegetables. For a whole cup of cooked cauliflower, there are 3 net grams of carbs.

      Does the cauliflower need to be cooked if I plan on freezing it and reheating it later? I plan on making a extra batch to freeze

        I would suggest that you freeze it after it have completely cooked and cooled.
