Roasted Cauliflower and Aged White Cheddar Dip 

Cook's notes: A warm and creamy roasted cauliflower with white cheddar. It is a  dip that is decadently delicious without all of the calories!  The roasting process of the cauliflower just elevates this dip to a whole new level. Recipe serves four and adapted from closetcooking.com

Cooking tip: Make the dip the day before ,refrigerate and bake the next day. It will require 10-15 minutes extra baking time since it just came out of the fridge but you will know it is done when the sides are bubbling and the top is lightly golden brown.

• 1/2 cup light sour cream or Greek yogurt 
• 1/2 tsp. each dried thyme and parsley flakes
• 2 garlic cloves, finely diced  
• 1 cup aged white cheddar, shredded 

Directions

• Toss the cauliflower in the oil with salt and pepper, arrange in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast in a preheated 400 degrees until lightly golden brown, about 20-30 minutes, mixing half way through. 
• Puree all ingredients with roasted cauliflower in a food processor and pour into a baking dish. 
• Bake in a preheated 350 degrees until the sides are bubbling and the top is lightly golden brown, about 20 minutes.
