Recipe by Orchids and Sweet Tea
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, toss cauliflower, olive oil, and seasonings together. Add cauliflower to baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.
Grease a square baking dish with butter and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add pasta and cook according to packaging. Drain, and add the cooked pasta to a large bowl with milk, butter, seasoning, and cheese together and stir everything until combined. Add the roasted cauliflower and toss together until incorporated.
Add the Mac + cheese mixture to baking dish and top with additional 1/2 cup mild cheddar cheese, spreading evenly.
In a bowl, add all ingredients and mix together until combined and “crumbly”. Sprinkle crumbs atop Mac and Cheese mixture, spreading evenly and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the sides are bubbling. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
