Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices bacon (chopped)
- 2 heads of cauliflower (leaves removed, broken/cut into small florets)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- ⅓ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 green onions (sliced thinly)
- ⅓ cup ranch dressing (see notes)
- Additional salt (to taste)
Instructions
- In a medium skillet, cook 6 slices bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, and set aside. Reserve ¼ cup of bacon grease.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 heads of cauliflower, bacon grease, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper. Toss to combine.
- Spread cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet, and then bake in preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, flipping once halfway through. The cauliflower should be tender and golden brown when ready.
- Sprinkle ⅓ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top of the cauliflower, and bake an additional 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Remove from oven, and top the cauliflower with the crumbled bacon and 4 green onions, and drizzle on ⅓ cup ranch dressing. Serve immediately.
