Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 pieces Bacon slices
- 0.5 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower head into medium-sized florets, creating pieces roughly the size of a quartered potato.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly golden brown at the edges.
While the cauliflower is baking, cook the bacon slices in a frying pan over medium heat until they are crispy. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease and crumble them into bits.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven, and immediately sprinkle the sharp cheddar cheese over the top. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Once the cheese is melted, remove from the oven. Transfer the cheesy cauliflower to a serving bowl.
Top with sour cream, crumbled bacon bits, and chopped chives.
Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Baked 'Potato' with Bacon Bits, a satisfying low-carb alternative!
