Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 bacon slices
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Break the cauliflower into small, bite-sized florets and place them on the baking sheet.
Step 3
Drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Spread the cauliflower into a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.
Step 5
While the cauliflower bakes, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Step 6
Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return it to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Step 7
Remove the cauliflower from the oven, top with crumbled bacon, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped green onions.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light meal. Enjoy your low-carb baked potato alternative!
