Cauliflower rice, courgetti spaghetti - what else?

[GreenNeedles]

Any other veggie replacements for carbs? I have previously found this a good way to cut carbs and calories whilst upping my 5 A Day.

Any other suggestions??

Butternut squash slices can substitute for lasagne sheets.

Green beans instead of pasta / spaghetti
Radishes cooked up in a casserole instead of potatoes (this is surprisingly good - radishes are a lot more robust to cooking than I had imagined!)

Instead of things like rice with curries or pasta with bolognese I have it on a big bed of steamed kale or spinach. A lot tastier than it sounds!
Or I just dish up mine last and stir in a load of spinach

How about Baked Kale Chips www.allrecipes.com/recipe/176957/baked-kale-chips/

I made them as an experiment a few weeks ago and they were demolished by DH and the DC. I was amazed! You can add a few chilli flakes, some lemon zest, Parmesan etc to boost the flavour.

Can mash half cauliflower half potato to lighten things up. I second stirring lots of spinach into curry/chilli etc

I also like butternut squash ‘spaghetti ‘ and courgetti quickly stir fried with onion/garlic/a little tomato or Passata as a side dish instead of pasta/potatoes

Swede for mash or oven chips is a lot lower in Cals and carbs than potato, celeriac is even lower.
Roasted radish tastes fantastic (nothing like raw) and are a good sub.
Stir fry cabbage in place of noodles.
Moussaka instead of lasagne replaces pasta with aubergine.

Broccoli rice.

You can make butternut squash in to noodles.

Aubergine as lasagna sheets or the like.

I'm quite partial to iceberg lettuce with a bolognaise type sauce, yuk sung style. Messy, yes. Tuck tea towel into your neckline.
