Ingredients

1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets (8 cups)
1 (10 ounce) package frozen cauliflower gnocchi
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 slices thick-cut low-sodium bacon
⅓ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons water
½ cup finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons sliced fresh chives

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Combine cauliflower florets and gnocchi in a large bowl. Add oil, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and salt; toss to coat. Spread in an even layer on 1 side of a large rimmed baking sheet. Arrange bacon on the other half of the baking sheet.
Roast until the bacon is cooked through and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Stir the cauliflower and gnocchi; return to the oven. Roast until the cauliflower is browned on edges and the gnocchi are crisp and golden, about 15 minutes more.
Meanwhile, chop the bacon into 1/2-inch pieces; set aside. Whisk sour cream and water in a small bowl.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Stir the cauliflower and gnocchi; push them together so they are closely packed. Sprinkle with cheese and the chopped bacon. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Drizzle with the sour cream mixture and sprinkle with chives.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
