This Cauliflower and Barley Parmesan Bake is a satisfying meatless meal your whole family will love (mine does!). The saucy, cheesy flavors in this dish mimic those in a traditional chicken or eggplant parmesan, but using cauliflower and barley! If that seems weird to you, just trust me, it’s delicious. Cauliflower is my husband’s favorite vegetable, but I generally feel kind of “meh” about it most of the time. I think this dish has made me a cauliflower believer! There’s so much craveable comfort food flavor here and I found a serving to be very filling.
After posting my Cheesy Spicy Black Bean Skillet earlier this month, I got great feedback and requests for more meatless meals. I’m happy to oblige! Sometimes meals without meat can feel a bit like a side dish, but this one is hearty and substantial enough for even my meat-loving husband to enjoy it as a main course. He calls this “Cauliflower Pizza Casserole” because he thinks the flavors taste like pizza. Whatever you call it, a 1 ¼ cups serving of this Cauliflower and Barley Parmesan Bake is just 268 calories or 8 WW Personal Points per serving (though you get an extra point back for the vegetables)!
