Do you want healthy frozen dinners that are plant-based, low carb and easy to prepare? Tattooed Chef makes four cauliflower frozen meals that you can cook on the stovetop, oven or microwave in minutes.
Some of their recipes are vegan, while others are vegetarian (containing cheese). Plus, most of their cauliflower meals are gluten-free, except for the Mac & Cheese.
So, if you don’t want to go through the effort of making cauliflower rice or preparing a meal from scratch, you may like this frozen food option.
Not only do they take less time to cook, but you can easily take them to the office for lunch. Not to mention, you can keep them in the freezer for months without worrying about fresh cauliflower spoiling.
What Makes These Frozen Plant-Based Meals Different?
I really like the Tattooed Chef dishes because they aren’t your average freezer meals. In fact’s you’d be hard-pressed to find a similar option in the frozen food aisle.
In fact, you’re more likely to find cauliflower mac & cheese or cauliflower pasta at a gourmet vegan restaurant. But you’d pay more than $5.
Note: You can order these frozen cauliflower meals online and pick them up at your local store. Stock up and have a variety on hand when you need a quick dinner, lunch, snack or appetizer.
1. Frozen Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
The Cauliflower Mac & Cheese Bowl has a creamy cheddar cheese sauce over cauliflower florets and gluten-free bread crumbs.
You get a whopping 18 grams of protein, yet this dish doesn’t have a lot of calories. Actually, compared to Amy’s Macaroni & Cheese (the organic pasta version), Tattooed Chef Mac & Cheese has almost 100 fewer calories at the same serving size.
In addition, the cauliflower base cuts the carb count in half from traditional macaroni and cheese. You also gain a little more fiber as a bonus.
2. Cauliflower Spaghetti
The Cauliflower Spaghetti contains grain-free and gluten-free pasta noodles. It also has plant based beef added to enhance the flavor and texture of the dish.
The noodles contain pea and lentil flour in addition to the cauliflower, so you get an extra dose of protein and fiber without the wheat or gluten.
I also noticed that the ingredients include extra virgin olive oil and Himalayan pink salt. Just saying.
3. Cauliflower Pizza Bowl
The Cauliflower Pizza Bowl with Plant-Based Pepperoni offers the perfect solution to crust-free pizza! Similar to a burrito bowl, the cauliflower pizza bowl lets you enjoy the flavors and textures of the traditional dish without all of the calories and guilt.
Tattooed Chef combines mozzarella with provolone cheeses for a unique flavor. Plus, the bowl has plant-based pepperoni, in case you want a vegetarian meal.

4. Frozen Cauliflower Gnocchi
If you’re familiar with Trader Joe’s frozen cauliflower gnocchi, you’ll like this Four-Cheese Cauliflower Gnocchi. Now you can enjoy gluten-free and grain-free gnocchi without giving up flavor. This creamy cheese sauce even contains blue cheese!
By the way, cauliflower gnocchi makes a great low-carb appetizer. If you want a health, easy-to-prepare but unique dish to serve guests, try this one out.
