Protein-Packed Cauliflower Mac with Sharp Cheddar
A comforting, nutrient-dense twist on macaroni and cheese that swaps pasta for tender roasted cauliflower florets, bathed in a creamy, sharp cheddar sauce enriched with Greek yogurt. This dish perfectly balances creamy texture with a hint of savory spice, making it an ideal option for a satisfying breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
300g Cauliflower Florets
60g Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
150g Nonfat Greek Yogurt
60ml Unsweetened Almond Milk
8g Whole Wheat Flour
1g Dry Mustard
1g Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Toss the cauliflower florets lightly with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired, and spread them out on a baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly golden, stirring halfway through.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk and whole wheat flour until smooth to create a light roux. Heat gently until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and incorporate the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, dry mustard, and garlic powder into the saucepan. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Combine the roasted cauliflower with the cheese sauce, stirring gently to ensure the florets are well-coated.
Serve warm, enjoying this protein-packed twist on a classic mac and cheese.
