Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium heads of cauliflower cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon crumbled
  • 1/4 cup green onions sliced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
  5. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with sliced green onions and a dollop of sour cream before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, try adding a teaspoon of chili powder for a spicy kick.
  • You can substitute the cheddar cheese with pepper jack for a different taste.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and consider adding some chopped olives or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
