Large mixing bowl
Knife and cutting board

Ingredients

1 large head Cauliflower (about 2 lbs / 900 g)
2 tablespoons Olive oil (30 ml)
1 tsp Smoked paprika (5 g)
1 tsp Garlic powder (5 g)
1 tsp Salt (5 g)
½ tsp Black pepper (2 g)
½ cup BBQ sauce (sugar-free) (120 ml)
1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (100 g)
½ cup Sour cream (120 ml)
¼ cup Sliced jalapeños (25 g)
¼ cup Chopped green onions (15 g)
2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional) (8 g)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a crispy finish on your nachos.
Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Cut it into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the cauliflower is well coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and drizzle the sugar-free BBQ sauce over the top. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the cauliflower.
Place the baking sheet back in the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top with dollops of sour cream, sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Keto BBQ Cauliflower Nachos!

Notes

For an extra kick, consider adding crumbled bacon or diced avocado as toppings. Ensure the BBQ sauce is truly sugar-free to keep the dish keto-friendly. Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties or additional toppings like olives or diced tomatoes.
