Ingredients

• 1 large head Cauliflower
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the cauliflower head and remove the leaves. Cut it into bite-sized florets.

Step 3

Place cauliflower florets in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly golden.

Step 5

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, arrowroot powder, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Whisk the mixture over medium heat until it begins to bubble and thicken, about 5-7 minutes. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.

Step 7

Remove the sauce from heat once it reaches a creamy consistency. Adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter.

Step 9

Drizzle the paleo cheese sauce over the cauliflower, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your flavorful paleo cauliflower with cheese sauce!
