Easy Cheesy Baked Keto Cauliflower

Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut apart into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 T butter
  • 1/2 cup coarsely-grated Parmesan
  • 1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar
  • 1/2 cup grated three cheese blend
  • Coarse-ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 375F/190C. Use an 8.5 " X 11" baking dish, and coat it with olive oil spray or non-stick spray.
  2. Fill a pot big enough for all the cauliflower with water and bring it to a boil. As it heats, prep the cauliflower by removing the leaves and core, then cutting the florets into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Once the water is boiling, stir in the salt and cauliflower. Lower the heat so the water stays at a gentle boil, and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the cauliflower into a colander set in the sink and drain it very well. When the excess water is gone, transfer the cauliflower to a bowl, or return it to the cooking pot, and add the butter. Stir until the butter melts and coats the pieces.
  5. Mix in the coarsely-grated Parmesan, sharp cheddar, and a little black pepper if you want it. Spoon everything into the prepared baking dish, then scatter the three-cheese blend over the top.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender, the cheese has melted, and the top has picked up a little color. Serve hot. This can be refrigerated for a few days and warms up nicely.
