Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon herbs (such as thyme or rosemary)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Cut the large cauliflower head into florets, resembling small potato chunks.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and herbs until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the cauliflower florets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not overcrowded, which helps them roast rather than steam.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully transfer the roasted cauliflower into a large serving bowl.
Step 7
Top with dollops of sour cream, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and garnish with chopped green onions.
Step 8
Serve hot and enjoy as a low-carb alternative to the classic baked potato.
