I use cauliflower instead of rice, I make my own but I dd buy a pouch of it from Tesco the other week as an emergency lunch to keep in my desk, haven't tried it yet (much cheaper to make my own!) I usually have some in the freezer which takes minutes to cook - quicker than real rice.
I use cauliflower or celeriac instead of mashed potatoes
celeriac instead of oven chips
courgettes slices into sort of chunks instead of pasta quills
courgettes cut into thicker strips instead of fettucini
courgette as spaghetti - I use a julienne peeler much cheaper than a spiraliser but needs to be cooked gently or it will fall apart, I normally add to sauce to be warmed up
spaghetti squash is great when I can find it
aubergine slices instead of cannelloni pasta tubes
aubergine or courgette sliced lengthways or leeks folded out as lasagne sheets
Almond or coconut flour instead of bread for gratin toppings etc
