Ingredients  

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallions, plus more for garnishing
  • Crackers, sliced bread or vegetables, for serving

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together the cauliflower florets with the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast it until it's golden brown, about 30 minutes, flipping the florets once halfway through.
  • Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer it to a food processor. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic, scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Process the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Transfer the mixture to a 10-inch skillet or an 8-cup baking dish. (See Kelly’s Notes.) Top the dip with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Reduce the oven to 350°F and bake the dip until it is golden brown on top and the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the dip from the oven, garnish with additional scallions, and serve it immediately with assorted crackers or vegetables for dipping.

Kelly’s Notes:

  • The dip can be prepared up to the baking step and stored, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator up to 1 day in advance. When ready to serve, remove the dip from the oven and bake it as directed until it is golden brown on top.
  • The dip can be baked in several smaller skillets/baking dishes or one larger one.
