Super Cheesy Cauliflower "Mac" and Cheese

Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2
|
Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
3
|
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
4
|
Using a cheese grater or food processor fitted with a grating attachment, grate the Cheddar and Gruyere cheeses. Set aside.
5
|
Transfer the grated cheese to a large bowl, and add the Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
6
|
Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch florets.
7
|
Arrange the cauliflower florets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Stir to distribute the seasoning.
8
|
Roast the cauliflower on middle rack of oven until it can be pierced with a fork, but is not tender, about 20 minutes.
9
|
When cauliflower is done, remove from oven and set aside.
10
|
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
11
|
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter.
12
|
Once melted, add the flour and whisk to thoroughly combine. Continue whisking until the roux turns slightly golden and begins to smell toasty, about 1 minute.
13
|
Slowly stream the milk into the pot while continuing to whisk. Cook the mixture, whisking steadily, until it begins to thicken and bubble, about 4 minutes.
14
|
Once mixture thickens and bubbles, turn off the heat. Add the mustard powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
15
|
Add 3/4 of the cheese to the pot one handful at a time, whisking slowly after each addition. Reserve a generous 1 cup for topping.
16
|
Once the sauce is smooth, add the roasted cauliflower to the pot. Stir until combined.
17
|
Pour the contents of the pot into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved cheese in an even layer over the top of the cauliflower.
18
|
Bake cauliflower mac on middle rack of oven until the edges are bubbling and the top is lightly browned, 15-18 minutes
19
|
Check to see that cauliflower mac is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
20
|
Allow dish to rest for about 15 minutes before serving.
