Ketones and low carbohydrates are very rich and delicious cauliflower casserole. One of my kids hated broccoli. It’s a shame, because it’s a very healthy vegetable, and my husband and I love it – it’s a great all-purpose vegetable for those who use ketones or a low-carb diet.
But this magical cauliflower casserole! This was the only way I agreed to eat broccoli. I think cheese and bacon can stand it. A spoonful of sugar can help the drug fade, so cheese and bacon should!
The rest of the cauliflower casserole is stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. It is better to reheat gently in a 50% microwave oven. I admit freely that I sometimes eat them cold, but take them out of the refrigerator and find them great!

Description
An amazingly rich and tasty cauliflower casserole is keto and low carb.
Ingredients
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt (not fine salt)
- Olive oil spray
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar, divided
- 2 tablespoons whole milk (or cream)
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets (1.5 lb. florets)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (I used low-fat, feel free to use full-fat)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons bacon bits
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions, green parts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the cauliflower florets on the baking sheet. Liberally spray with olive oil and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Roast the cauliflower until tender-crisp, about 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the sour cream, milk, Dijon, garlic, cayenne and 1/2 cup cheddar.
- When cauliflower is done, add it to the sour cream sauce and mix to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 1.5-quart baking dish. Top with the remaining shredded cheddar.
- Return to the oven and bake just until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the cauliflower casserole with the bacon bits and the scallions and serve.
