Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced
- 4 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, then cut it into bite-sized florets.
In a large bowl, toss the florets with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly golden.
While the cauliflower is roasting, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Add the cream cheese to the saucepan and stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a baking dish.
Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, ensuring full coverage of all florets.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and top with sliced green onions and crumbled bacon.
Serve hot as a side dish or main keto entree.
