Keto Cheesy Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 small cauliflower, leaves removed and broken into small florets
- 1 small head broccoli, broken into small florets
- 3½ tablespoons unsalted butter (or ghee)
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage(Or any non-dairy milk.) (Or any non-dairy milk)
- 1 cup aged cheddar, or vegetarian alternative
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- ¼ cup cooked bacon, crumbled (*Optional for non-vegetarians.)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400C. In a very large saucepan, cook the cauliflower in boiling salted water for 5 mins. Then add the broccoli and cook for 3 mins more. Drain well and transfer to a large ovenproof dish.
2 To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a small pan. Once melted and heated through, add coconut flour and ground mustard, and sauté for 1 min, stirring constantly. Take off the heat and add the non-dairy milk, a little at a time, stirring constantly to get rid of any lumps. Once half the milk has been added, return to the heat and add the remaining milk. Keep stirring and bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 2 mins, until thickened and smooth. Add most of the cheese and season with salt and pepper then take off the heat and add the chives.
- Pour the sauce over the vegetables and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. This can be done the day before and kept covered in the fridge. Cook in preheated oven for 25-30 min until bubbling. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon (if using). Remove from oven and allow to rest 10 min before serving.
