Why You’ll Love My Baked Cauliflower Dish
Introducing my Cheesy Baked Cauliflower. It’s a low-carb dream come true, a side dish so incredible, it’ll make you question why you’ve ever settled for boring old potatoes. Imagine a cloud of creamy, cheesy cauliflower, roasted to golden perfection. It’s topped with Parmigiana Reggiano cheese which will have your tastebuds doing the tarantella 💃.
How to Prepare
🔥 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) 🔪 Using a sharp knife, cut up the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. 🌿 Next, add the cauliflower to a baking dish and place about 1/2 the block of herb Boursin cheese in the middle. 🧂Now, add in a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle over a tiny amount of olive oil and pour in the broth (or water) through the side. ⏲️ Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes. Now, take it out of the oven, mix it all together, and enjoy.

All About Cauliflower
I absolutely love cooking with cauliflower. It is so versatile, and a dream if you’re living a low-carb lifestyle. It’s from the same family as 🥦 broccoli (obvs!), kale, and cabbage, so you know it’s super nutritious and works with a variety of cooking methods (think grilled, steamed, roasted or raw). I love using cauliflower in this au gratin style because it holds up just as potatoes would, but it’s loaded with fiber and vitamins and won’t hit you with a carb overload. The cauliflower comes out so tender when baked this way, but it still holds up to the creamy sauce.
Best Served With
Any main dish protein such as my Baked Parmesan Chicken, grilled 🥩 steak, or a simple Grilled Lemon Chicken Breast. Serve this Baked Cauliflower Dish with a 🥗 salad such as my Fajita Salad or Greek Feta Salad.
