How to make delicious cauliflower cheese bites

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without dairy.

breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: ground oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Ground oats provide a gluten-free option.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cut cauliflower into small florets and steam until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Transfer steamed cauliflower to a large bowl and mash until smooth.

Add cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl.

Mix all ingredients until well combined.

Form mixture into small bite-sized balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle olive oil over the cauliflower bites.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
