Ingredients

  • 1 pound cauliflower cut into florets (about 4 1/2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon coconut flour
  • 1 1/2 cups 2% milk (or almond milk)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup packed cheddar cheese grated and divided (4 ounces) (or dairy-free)

Instructions

  • Turn your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bring a large pot of salted water a boil.  Add the cauliflower and cook until fork-tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well, and then spread out on a few layers of paper towel. Use another layer of paper towel to gently press as much moisture out of the cauliflower as possible.

  • While the cauliflower cools, melt the butter in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Once melted, add in the almond flour and coconut flour and whisk, stirring constantly, until it just begins to brown, about 1 minute.
