π Ingredients You'll Need:
1 head Cauliflower (cut into small florets) π₯¦
2 tbsp Olive oil π«
1/2 tsp Sea salt π§
1/4 tsp Black pepper π
1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded) π§
1/4 cup Heavy cream π₯
1/4 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice) π₯
1 tbsp Unsalted butter π§
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. ππ₯
2. Toss the cauliflower florets in a large bowl with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. π₯¦π«π§
3. Spread the florets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have space for even cooking and caramelization. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until they're crisp-tender and golden on the edges. π₯¦π₯
4. While the cauliflower roasts, combine the cheddar cheese, heavy cream, almond milk, and butter in a small saucepan over low heat (or in a microwave-safe bowl). Heat the mixture, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Be careful not to overheat to avoid separation. π§π₯π§
5. Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a large bowl. Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the top and gently fold to coat the cauliflower evenly without breaking the florets. π₯¦π§π₯
