Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 4 slices Bacon slices
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower florets, then sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until well coated.
Spread the cauliflower florets evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned, turning halfway through the cooking time.
While the cauliflower is roasting, cook the bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble into small pieces.
Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven and transfer it to an ovenproof serving dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the cauliflower.
Place the dish back in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Remove the dish from the oven and top the cauliflower with crumbled bacon, a dollop of sour cream in the center, and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
Serve immediately for a delicious keto-friendly alternative to a baked potato.
