Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into small florets

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 2 ounces cream cheese

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

  • Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Spread the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and beginning to brown.
  • While the cauliflower is roasting, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Gradually add the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Place the cauliflower in a baking dish and pour the cheese sauce over the top. Stir gently to ensure all the florets are coated.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and beginning to brown on top.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Serve warm and enjoy your Keto-friendly twist on classic comfort food!
