Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.75 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the cauliflower into florets, wash, and pat dry.
Place the cauliflower florets in a large baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the cauliflower and toss again.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the cauliflower is slightly tender.
While the cauliflower is baking, in a small bowl, mix nonfat Greek yogurt and shredded low-fat cheddar cheese together until well combined.
Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove from oven and pour the yogurt and cheddar mixture over the cauliflower. Stir gently to ensure even coverage.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the dish.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
