Crispy Baked Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
Enjoy a comforting twist on classic mac and cheese with roasted cauliflower, protein-rich chickpea pasta, and a creamy, cheesy sauce. Crispy baked topping gives a delightful crunch to every bite without overloading on calories.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea pasta (dry)
1 cup cauliflower florets
1/2 cup low-fat cheddar cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until they start to turn golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, cook the chickpea pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, roasted cauliflower, nonfat Greek yogurt, and shredded low-fat cheddar cheese. Gently mix until the sauce coats the pasta and cauliflower evenly.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the whole wheat breadcrumbs evenly over the top to create a crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
