PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F.

  • 2

    Steam the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  • 3

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the shredded sharp cheddar cheese with a splash of water or a little nonfat Greek yogurt to help melt, stirring continuously until a smooth, thick cheese mixture forms. Remove from heat once melted.

  • 4

    In a large bowl, gently toss the steamed cauliflower with the melted cheese sauce, nonfat Greek yogurt, and drained chickpeas.

  • 5

    Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly coated.

  • 6

    Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and bake for 10-12 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the top to develop a slight golden color.

  • 7

    Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, lower-calorie twist on mac and cheese.
