Cauliflower mac and cheese is a low-carb alternative to traditional mac and cheese that uses cauliflower florets as a substitute for pasta.
Ingredients:
1 large head of cauliflower, chopped into small florets
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp almond flour
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Optional toppings: chopped fresh parsley or crumbled bacon
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until they're tender but not mushy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the almond flour until smooth and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly until smooth.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
Add the cooked cauliflower to the sauce and stir until the cauliflower is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Optional: sprinkle chopped parsley or crumbled bacon over the top before serving.
Enjoy your delicious and low-carb cauliflower mac and cheese!
