Ingredients

• 1 large cauliflower head
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and discard the core and leaves.

Step 3

Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl, and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and starts to brown on the edges.

Step 6

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the cheese sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and cream cheese. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Continue to stir until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is creamy.

Step 8

Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 9

Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the cauliflower, and gently stir to ensure all pieces are coated.

Step 10

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
