Hello foodie friends,
This is my first recipe entry to FRUITS AND VEGGIES MONDAY COMPETITION. For this occasion I'm gonna share with you guys a healthy, low carb, gluten free, vegetarian dish recipe made with cauliflower. Are you a cauliflower fan?
I really like cauliflower, it’s a great vegetable which can be used versatile. This beautiful large white “flower” makes perfect side dishes, casseroles and soups. Good news: cauliflower is low in carbs and full of vitamin C. One of the best ways cauliflower can be prepared is to bake it as a cauliflower cheese. This classic creamy cheesy side dish is super delicious, but contains flour and breadcrumbs, so I thought why not prepare it healthier? My cauliflower bake is lack of any flour, it’s just simply made of double/half-and-half cream and topped with a lots of cheese.
This cheesy creamy garlicky cauliflower bake is the perfect gluten-free and low-carb side dish or vegetarian dinner you can make on busy weekdays.
Cheesy cauliflower is a perfect addition to roasts, baked or grilled meats so you can make a decent low-carb comfort family dinner without complaints. Hope you’ll like this healthy bake!

Let's cook!
- Cut the cauliflower into florets.
