Directions

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. Place cauliflower florets, chicken broth, Smart Balance, salt and pepper into a large soup pot over high heat until liquid starts to boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and steam for 10-12 minutes or until cauliflower is completely tender when poked with a fork.

  3. Using an immersion blender or food processor, blend the cauliflower mixture until smooth. Fold in two Tbsp. chopped parsley.

  4. In a small bowl, combine the remaining two Tbsp. parsley with the grated cheese.

  5. Pour the pureed cauliflower into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with cheese and parsley mixture and bake for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted and starting to brown around the edges.

    Under “ingredients”, is it 2 cauliflower heads broken into florets or 2 cups of florets? Two heads seems like a lot of cauliflower for the rest of the ingredients and 2 cups doesn’t seem like enough.

    @Kathy, Smart Balance is a butter spread. We adjusted the ingredient name a bit to make this more clear. Thanks!
