When you think about comfort food, what comes to mind? Macaroni and Cheese? Mashed Potatoes? Chicken Pot Pie? Pot Roast or Meatloaf? And, when you think about all of these comfort foods, you’re probably also thinking, not-so-healthy food. Well, not anymore. The Worcester County Health Department has a new cooking series, “What’s Cooking in Worcester”, featuring healthy versions of some our favorite comfort foods. Today, we’re making cheesy cauliflower nachos. Check out the recipe below:

Ingredients

1 medium head cauliflower cut into florets
2 tsp. olive oil
½ tsp. ground cumin
¼ tsp. sea salt or Himalayan salt
¼ tsp. chili powder
¼ tsp. garlic powder
½ cup shredded Monterey jack or pepperjack cheese
¼ cup chopped tomato
¼ cup chopped red onion
¼ cup chopped orange bell pepper
1 medium jalapeño seeds and veins removed (optional), sliced (can add a second if desired)
½ cup mashed avocado
2 Tbsp. finely chopped cilantro

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425º F.
Place cauliflower on baking sheet. Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with cumin, salt, chili powder, and garlic powder; toss gently to blend. Spread evenly on baking sheet.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until tender-crisp and golden.
Top evenly with cheese. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Top evenly with tomato, onion, bell pepper, jalapeños, avocado, and cilantro; serve immediately.
