This roasted cauliflower and cheddar dip is unbelievably creamy and flavorful – blending the cauliflower into a silky dip helps greatly reduce the calories in this dip.
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Whisk in flour and continue to cook for 1 minute.
Slowly add milk while continuing to whisk.
Continue whisking over medium heat until thickened slightly.
When the cauliflower is roasted, add it to a blender with 1/2 cup of the white sauce and puree until smooth. Stir this into the rest of the white sauce until combined. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted.
Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Serve warm.
Notes
If you don’t want to turn your oven on to roast the cauliflower, you could alternatively steam it. However, make sure to thoroughly drain the steamed cauliflower to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
