Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cut the cauliflower into fry-shaped pieces, approximately the size of traditional fries.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower pieces with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the cheesy cauliflower fries.
Transfer the loaded fries to a serving platter.
Serve immediately with dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped green onions on top.
