Ingredients
- 1 medium Cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 pieces Bacon slices
- 0.5 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower head into medium-sized florets, creating pieces roughly the size of a quartered potato.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly golden brown at the edges.
Step 6
While the cauliflower is baking, cook the bacon slices in a frying pan over medium heat until they are crispy. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease and crumble them into bits.
Step 7
Remove the cauliflower from the oven, and immediately sprinkle the sharp cheddar cheese over the top. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Step 8
Once the cheese is melted, remove from the oven. Transfer the cheesy cauliflower to a serving bowl.
Step 9
Top with sour cream, crumbled bacon bits, and chopped chives.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Baked 'Potato' with Bacon Bits, a satisfying low-carb alternative!
