INGREDIENTS
2 cups cauliflower florets (approx. 300g)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (approx. 56g)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (approx. 120g)
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (approx. 125g)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the cauliflower florets with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly golden at the edges.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the unsweetened almond milk and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the plain nonfat Greek yogurt to boost creaminess and protein without curdling.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a mixing bowl and pour the warm cheese sauce over it. Gently toss to coat all the florets thoroughly.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately for a warm, comforting meal.
