Keto Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

• Cauliflower (1 large head, cut into florets)
• Heavy cream (1 cup)
• Cream cheese (8 ounces, softened)
• Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
• Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, grated)
• Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
• Onion powder (1 teaspoon)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon, or to taste)
• Fresh parsley (2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish))

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large pot, steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
4. Add the cream cheese to the saucepan and stir until melted and smooth.
5. Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
6. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
7. Add the cooked cauliflower to the cheese sauce and gently stir to coat the florets evenly.
8. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
