Cheesy Cauliflower #sidedish #ketofriendly
When I do my weekly meal planning I always struggle with the side dishes. Just like with my main dishes – I don’t like to repeat things too frequently. So I’m often trying different variations of things. When I stumbled on to the idea for Cheesy Cauliflower, I knew it was going to be a success. Who doesn’t love something covered in cheese?
The foil is the key to getting the cauliflower cooked but still al dente and the melted but not crisped. It builds up the steam inside the baking dish without having to add any water to make it soggy. It’s also important to really toss the cauliflower with oil and seasonings so that you get even flavor all over.
I recently served this with my Jalapeno Turkey Meatballs. But I have plans to serve it alongside my next burger creation and maybe some baked chicken! The flavor is so simple yet delicious that you could pair it with so many things. You could use different kinds of cheese to change it up a little, if you wanted to.
Now Let’s Get Cookin’!
