Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 2 heads cauliflower florets
Cut the cauliflower into florets of roughly the same size.
  • olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • coarse ground black pepper
On a sheet pan toss the florets gently with olive oil, kosher salt and coarse black pepper; turn the best side up.
Roast in a 450 oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, to just a touch of colour; too dark and they go soft inside.
  • 3 cup cheddar
Shred about three cups of cheddar.
  • butter
  • flour
  • milk
Cheese sauce: melt butter in a pot, add flour a little at a time, then add milk gradually, stirring a lot each time to keep lumps away.
Making the cheese sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon
  • garlic powder
  • salt
  • pepper
Add about a tablespoon of Dijon, a little garlic powder, and a little salt and pepper; add the cheese a little at a time, stirring after each addition until melted.
Put the roasted cauliflower in a bowl and toss gently with the cheese sauce.
Transfer to the dish it will be served in, top with more cheddar and a little sharp Parmesan.
Cover with foil and bake 15 minutes at 375.
  • Parmesan
Remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes.
  • crispy onions
Top with a little handful of crispy onions.
