Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head of cauliflower that’s about 1 pound or 450 grams
  • A splash of olive oil or 15 ml, whichever you prefer
  • FOR THE CHEESY GOODNESS:
  • 1 cup heavy cream yeah, the full-fat stuff, about 240 ml
  • 1 big handful of shredded cheddar cheese around 4 oz or 110 grams
  • 2 oz cream cheese or 55 grams
  • Salt to taste a teaspoon or so
  • A pinch or two of black pepper and garlic powder
  • FOR THE FINAL TOUCH:
  • A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup or so
  • Fresh parsley about a tablespoon, chopped

Method
 

  1. Cauliflower Time: Chop it up, toss it in oil, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes. You’re looking for tender and golden.
  2. Cheese Please: Mix the cream, cheddar, cream cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder on medium heat until it’s all melty and heavenly.
  3. Bring ‘em Together: Stir that beautiful cauliflower into your cheese sauce.
  4. Bake it Up: Pop it in a dish, sprinkle with Parmesan, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle and Serve: Garnish your Low-Carb Cauliflower Mac and Cheese with parsley and dig in!

Notes

Freshly shred that cheddar; it melts better.
Steam instead of roast for a softer vibe.
Play with your cheese. Gouda, anyone?
