Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375° and butter a 9”-x-13” baking dish.

5. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish.

6. In a medium bowl stir to combine pork rinds, Parmesan, and oil. Sprinkle mixture in an even layer over cauliflower and cheese.

7. Bake until golden, 15 minutes. If desired, turn oven to broil to toast topping further, about 2 minutes.

8. Garnish with parsley before serving.

9. Enjoy!
