Ingredients

3 cups broccoli florets
3 cups cauliflower florets
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons almond flour (or regular flour if not keto)
1 ½ cups milk (or unsweetened almond milk for keto)
1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional garnish: chopped parsley or extra cheese for topping

How to Make It

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
Steam the broccoli and cauliflower florets for about 3–4 minutes — just until crisp-tender. Drain well.
Make the cheese sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Whisk in the almond flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Stir in the cheddar, parmesan, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine & bake:
- In a large bowl, toss the steamed vegetables with the cheese sauce until well coated.
- Transfer to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle extra cheese on top if desired.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this Cheesy Broccoli and Cauliflower Bake alongside:

Storage Tips

Leftovers (if there are any!) keep beautifully. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge and reheat in the oven or microwave until warm and melty again.
