Ingredients

• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 3 large cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon sliced green onions
• 1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 (6 ounce) container plain 2% Greek yogurt
• 1.25 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Coat cauliflower with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and spread out onto a baking sheet.

Step 3

Chop tops off garlic cloves and place on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle cloves with remaining olive oil and wrap foil to create a pouch; place on the baking sheet with the cauliflower.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven, tossing cauliflower halfway through, until tender, about 25 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and allow cauliflower to cool slightly. Unwrap garlic cloves and discard foil. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 6

Combine 1 cup Cheddar cheese and yogurt in a food processor; blend until smooth. Add cauliflower and squeeze garlic cloves in as well. Process, scraping down the sides as needed, until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a baking dish and top with remaining Cheddar.

Step 7

Bake until top begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, garnish with green onions, and serve.
