What Makes This Recipe So Good
This cauliflower au gratin is made of cauliflower smothered in tons of cheesy goodness and topped with rich, buttery breadcrumbs. It’s the perfect side dish for holidays or if you just want a new way to get your kids to eat veggies! With an easy first step to help remove moisture, the cauliflower in this recipe isn’t soggy or mushy, making the texture of this au gratin absolutely perfect. A couple easy swaps make this recipe gluten free, so it’s great if you’re serving it to guests or family members who are sensitive to gluten.
Chef’s Tips
To make this cauliflower au gratin gluten free, swap the breadcrumbs for gluten free ones and the flour for gluten free all-purpose flour. You can use any type of shredded cheese for this recipe, but I absolutely love shredded cheddar. Gruyere is also a good option, as is swiss or white cheddar. Use fresh cauliflower instead of frozen. Frozen will make your cauliflower au gratin way too watery.
