Loaded Cauliflower
Ingredients
-
2 heads cauliflower, cut into bite size pieces
-
2 Tablespoons olive oil
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon coarse black pepper
-
8+ ounces shredded cheddar cheese (we use Mexican blend)
-
8 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
-
2 – 4 green onions, sliced thin (optional)
-
Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°.
-
Place the cauliflower in a large bowl and add olive oil. Toss to coat.
-
Wrap 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil. Spread the cauliflower out onto the baking sheets and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 – 30 minutes.
-
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and push all the cauliflower into a pile in the center of one of the baking sheets. Cover the cauliflower with cheese and bacon.
-
Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for an additional 5 – 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
-
Remove from the oven and top with sliced green onions. If you enjoy a little more kick, add a little hot sauce on top.
