- 1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste, we like it spicier)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place chopped cauliflower on 2 foil-lined rimmed baking sheets. Pour olive oil over cauliflower and toss on baking sheet to coat.
- Roast cauliflower in oven until slightly browned, about 20 minutes.
- While cauliflower is roasting, make the cheese sauce. Place all cheese sauce ingredients in a saucier pan (or stock pot). Stir with a whisk until all ingredients melt and combine. Note: Sauce will come together quickly, once it is done, turn off the burner and put the lid on to wait for the cauliflower.
- Scrape roasted cauliflower into the cheese sauce and stir to combine. Turn the heat back on to rewarm and serve.
