Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Rinse and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5 minutes or until just tender. Drain well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, beaten egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the drained cauliflower florets to the yogurt mixture and gently toss to coat the cauliflower evenly.
Lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining half cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the cauliflower mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your healthy and cheesy cauliflower bake!
