Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli Mac and Cheese

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F / 200C /180 fan.

Step 2

Place the cauliflower and broccoli florets on a non stick baking tray and toss with olive oil and salt. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes. Add the chopped bacon and bake for a further 20 minutes until cooked and the broccoli slightly crisp.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a sauce pan heat the butter and garlic over medium heat.

Step 4

Cook until the garlic starts to become fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add heavy/double cream, 1/2 cup (60g) of mozzarella, cream cheese, and 1/2 of the cheddar cheese. Stir until melted using a hand whisk and then simmer on a low heat for about 2 minutes until fully melted. Stir through 2 - 4 tbsp of almond milk (or water) if you prefer a thinner sauce.

Step 5

Add the broccoli, cauliflower and bacon to a baking dish. Pour over the cheese sauce and top with the remaining cheddar and mozzarella.

Step 6

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and slightly golden on top.
