Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Break the cauliflower into small florets and discard the leaves and core.

Step 3

Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the cauliflower in an even layer on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are golden and tender.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the heavy cream and cream cheese. Stir frequently until the cream cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until melted and well combined.

Step 7

Transfer the roasted cauliflower into a greased baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the cauliflower.

Step 9

Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 10

Allow to cool slightly, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
