Cheesy Spicy Cauliflower Bake
A low carb Mac & Cheese alternative that can also be made with broccoli.
Ingredients
Directions
- In a large pot add 1 - 2" hot water, place steamer basket and cauliflower. Steam for 10-15 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from heat.
- In a medium baking dish, place steamed cauliflower, breaking pieces apart and making an even layer of cauliflower florets on the baking dish. Set aside. Start heating oven to 450° F (230° C).
- In a medium mixing bowl place remaining ingredients, mix well with a spatula, add extra mayonnaise to make it somewhat spreadable. Spread cheese mixture evenly over cauliflower in the baking dish.
- Bake for 15-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and at desired crispiness. Serve warm.
- Notes: The cauliflower can be steamed ahead and chilled before adding cheese mixture. It can be further chilled and then cooked at the last minute.

very tasty! I did use the olive oil mayo (lower in fat) & I slightly mixed the cheese mixture into the cauliflower instead of just on top. One of the family's new favorites.

This was very good and I'll make it again. I left off the cayenne pepper because others didn't like the hot spice, but for myself, yum!
It reminded me of mac and cheese. I noticed it was even better the next day so next time I'll make it a day ahead.

My whole family enjoyed this but I think I may try another type of cheese next time. I liked the flavor pretty well but found as I ate it the flavor grew a bit strong for me. Think I'm going to try maybe a taco cheese mix or maybe swiss (love swiss).

Excellent. I'd cut back on the cayenne next time, but that's just my taste buds. I only had sliced cheddar in the house and just cut it up really fine and it worked. When it seemed like it wouldn't spread, I added some half & half instead of more mayo. Worked fine. Definitely a keeper!

Well, I gave this recipe a 4 out of five stars, I thought it was a bit to salty/spicy, but tasty. :) My husband LOVED IT!!! You have renewed his faith in cauliflower and opened up different possiblities by changing up the recipe a bit. thanks for putting this out there. :)

This is designed for Atkins but can be modified as a tasty side dish for any diet with substitution of low-fat mayo and cheese. I just made it with chopped jalapenos and bacon crumbles on top and everyone loved it!
