Ingredients
1 large cauliflower head, cored and cut into small florets
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp mustard powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes until tender but firm, not mushy
In a separate bowl, melt cream cheese over low heat. Gradually stir in heavy cream, garlic powder, mustard powder, nutritional yeast, and most of the cheddar until smooth and velvety
Add roasted cauliflower to the cheese sauce and mix until evenly coated. Adjust seasoning
Transfer to an oven-safe dish and sprinkle remaining cheddar on top. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbling
Notes
For a smoother sauce, blend ingredients in a food processor
Substitute cauliflower with mushrooms or zucchini noodles for variation
Add cooked chicken or shrimp for protein
Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days
