Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Dish 9x13
  • Stovetop
  • Large Skillet

Ingredients

  • 3 slices Turkey Bacon
  • 1 head Cauliflower Cut into bite-size pieces
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • cup Cheddar Cheese Shredded, divided
  • cup Sour Cream Low-fat
  • 4 Scallions Sliced, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Place bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool. (Reserve the drippings in the pan.)
  • Combine cauliflower, pepper, salt and the bacon drippings in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Roast, stirring twice, until tender, about 35 minutes.
