Roasted Cauliflower With Bacon Recipes

LOADED CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and crispy, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings.
• Put the cauliflower florets in a 3-quart casserole dish. Toss with the reserved 2 tablespoons bacon drippings, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the florets are soft and begin to brown, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the cream cheese and 1 cup of the Cheddar in a medium bowl until well combined. Dollop over the cauliflower, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Cheddar and bake until the cauliflower is tender when poked with a knife and the Cheddar is melted and bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Dollop the sour cream evenly over the casserole and sprinkle with the scallions and reserved bacon pieces.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH BACON RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 F. Toss the cauliflower in a medium-sized baking dish with some cooking fat and roast it in the oven for 20 minutes. While the cauliflower is cooking, fry the bacon in a skillet over a medium-high heat, until just done. Then remove it from the heat and chop it into bite-sized pieces when cool enough to handle. Once the cauliflower has cooked for 20 minutes, add the bacon to the baking dish and cook for another 5 minutes, until the bacon is nice and crispy. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the green onion on top to serve.
