Loaded Cauliflower Bites

Crispy slices of roasted cauliflower topped with cheese, sour cream and bacon make a tasty low-carb alternative to classic loaded potato skins.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 5 cups 1/4-inch-thick slices cauliflower (1 1/2 pounds/1 medium head, stem trimmed)
  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 3 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • ¼ cup sliced scallion greens

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

  2. Stir oil, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add cauliflower slices and gently toss to coat. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet and roast until tender, 10 to 14 minutes. Top with cheese, return to the oven and roast until the cheese has melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Top each cauliflower slice with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with bacon and scallion greens.
