Keto Smoky Cauliflower Cheese
This Keto take on cauliflower cheese is rich with flavor and fats. Our easy low carb recipe is prepared with tender cauliflower florets, aromatic dried rosemary, and thyme, smoky paprika, tangy grated parmesan, grated cheddar cheese, garlic, onion, and vegetable stock. Once prepared, the dish is oven-baked until bubbling and golden.
Can I Use a Different Cheese?
We have used a combination of cream cheese, grated parmesan and cheddar cheese in our Keto cauliflower bake. If you would like to use alternative cheeses, you can adjust this easily to suit. The parmesan can be switched for any hard Italian cheese, and the cheddar can be swapped for Monterey Jack cheese or even mozzarella for an oozier sauce! Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
Serving Suggestions?
Our smoky cauliflower cheese makes a delicious low carb side. Perfect served with roasted meats for your Sunday lunch. The bake is delicious with roasted chicken and pork and would even make a great alternative side dish for a Keto Christmas dinner.
