Ingredients
Loaded Smashed Cauliflower: 2 Weight Watchers Freestyle Smart Points per serving (approximately 8 servings)
https://youtu.be/MLWq7jhAvyY
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets (about 2 cups)
- 3 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- 2 tsp seasoning of choice (I used Dak's Spices Everything But Da Salt)
- 1 cup Trader Joes Light Shredded Mozarella Cheese (or similar)
- 1/2 cup Kirkland Crumbled bacon (or similar)
- optional fat free sour cream or non fat plain greek yogurt
- optional chives or other garnish
Instructions
Wash and pat dry cauliflower, cut into approximately 24 florets. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil, add florets and boil for approximately 5-6 minutes or under tender (not mushy, just tender).
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place florets on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Smash with a potato masher. If you don't have one...get one! I also use this for separating ground meat or to help shred cooked chicken.
Spray lightly with non stick spray and evenly sprinkle on cheese, seasoning, nutritional yeast and bacon bits.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes and the broil for an additional 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them, you don't want to burn these beauties!
