Cheesy Spicy Cauliflower Bake
A low carb Mac & Cheese alternative that can also be made with broccoli.
Ingredients
Directions
- In a large pot add 1 - 2" hot water, place steamer basket and cauliflower. Steam for 10-15 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from heat.
- In a medium baking dish, place steamed cauliflower, breaking pieces apart and making an even layer of cauliflower florets on the baking dish. Set aside. Start heating oven to 450° F (230° C).
- In a medium mixing bowl place remaining ingredients, mix well with a spatula, add extra mayonnaise to make it somewhat spreadable. Spread cheese mixture evenly over cauliflower in the baking dish.
- Bake for 15-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and at desired crispiness. Serve warm.
- Notes: The cauliflower can be steamed ahead and chilled before adding cheese mixture. It can be further chilled and then cooked at the last minute.

This is just so good. I adjusted the mix of spices to my own liking. AND tonight I added shreds of deli cut ham to the cauliflower before pasting the cheese on top. SO good!

It was a little "oily" after it baked up.. and I think I'm going to cut out half the salt and less garlic...but other than that, I LOVED it and my picky 16 month old even loved it. Thanks!

This was such a surprise. Very good, but I would like to see a little more "spice" to it.

OMG- I tried this last night, and I'm pretty sure I have a new favorite food! I didn't have cayenne pepper or paprika, so I used a little chili powder and cumin, and holy crap- AWESOME! And the cheese got a little crispy, so the texture was great. Loved it!

This is designed for Atkins but can be modified as a tasty side dish for any diet with substitution of low-fat mayo and cheese.
