For a low-carb recipe, it still tasted really good, and I didn't miss the pasta (probably because this dish is still super cheesy). I'd definitely recommend making this at home." —Hannah Loewentheil

"Next time I make this, I might double the recipe. While this recipe is supposed to yield three servings, I found that it actually amounted to two moderately sized servings when eaten without an accompanying carb (which is the point, right?)." —Michelle No

"Like many low-carb carb replicas, these tortillas had a decidedly eggy smell and taste and weren't as chewy as your usual taco shells. But stuff them with avocado, bacon, and a dollop of sour cream, and I wouldn't have thought anything was missing." —Michelle No

"And the onions and celery were key ingredients in this recipe, as they made each bite crunchy and more nutritious than if it had been just a bite of cheese and cauliflower." —Michelle No
Get the recipe here.
43.One-Pan Crispy Chicken and Brussels Sprouts
