Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 bacon slices
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the cauliflower head and cut it into small florets to resemble the size of small potato chunks.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well coated.
Step 4
Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in an even layer.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and edges are golden brown, stirring once halfway through.
Step 6
While the cauliflower is baking, cook the bacon slices in a frying pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels, then crumble them into small pieces.
Step 7
Once the cauliflower is done, remove from oven and place in a large mixing bowl.
Step 8
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon to the cauliflower and gently toss until the cheese begins to melt and evenly coats the cauliflower.
Step 9
Transfer the cheesy cauliflower mixture to a serving dish.
Step 10
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with a dollop of sour cream on top for added creaminess.
Step 11
Enjoy your low carb baked potato alternative with cheese and bacon!
