CAULIFLOWER MAC N CHEESE

Satisfy your mac and cheese cravings with this no-pasta version — a simple 30-minute recipe for roasted cauliflower florets tossed in a rich and thick cheese sauce.

INGREDIENTS

• 16-ounce package cauliflower florets 
• 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese 
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ground black pepper, for taste

Cheese Sauce:

• ▢1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 
• ▢1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ▢2 ounces cream cheese, chopped 
• ▢2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• ▢1/2 teaspoon table salt
• ▢1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne

INSTRUCTIONS

• Roast Cauliflower: Preheat oven to 400 F. If any cauliflower florets are larger than 2 inches, cut into smaller pieces. Toss florets with olive oil on foil-lined baking sheet until well-coated, then spread out florets in single layer. Bake at 400 F until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. While baking, proceed to next step to prepare sauce.
• Make Sauce: Whisk all sauce ingredients together in small saucepan over medium heat until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes, reducing heat as needed so that sauce isn’t hot enough to simmer. Once combined, keep warm over low heat while waiting for cauliflower to bake.
• Serve: Toss roasted cauliflower with sauce in mixing bowl until well-coated. Serve, and evenly sprinkle parmesan cheese and black pepper on top.
