This dish features roasted cauliflower in a creamy and tangy cheese sauce. You won’t miss the macaroni! If you like a crispy topping, add a bit of pork panko just before finishing in high heat.
Servings: 4
Calories: 354kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups cauliflower broken into small florets, 1 head
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded, divided
- 1 slice American cheese optional but helps with texture
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground mustard
- pinch cayenne optional, omit for nightshade-free
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Set aside.
- Toss the cauliflower with the avocado oil and place onto prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350ºF until tender and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
- Blend the chicken stock, 3/4 cup cheddar, American cheese, cream cheese, salt, mustard, and cayenne in a blender until smooth.
- Toss the roasted cauliflower with the cheese sauce, add 1/2 cup of the cheddar and pour into an oven safe dish. Top with remaining 1/4 cup cheddar and broil on low (or set the oven to 500ºF) for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted through.
Notes
If you want a crispy crust, top with pork panko as well just before briefly broiling.
