Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Place the cauliflower florets in the center of a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Spoon the cheese sauce evenly over the cauliflower. Sprinkle the chopped red bell pepper over the cheese sauce. Distribute the ice cubes on top. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. (3 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Bring up the sides of the foil and fold down twice to create a sealed packet. Double fold both ends of the foil to ensure a tight seal, allowing room for steam to circulate inside. (5 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Place the foil packet on a baking sheet with 1-inch sides and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and cooked to your preferred texture. (25 minutes)

06

Step
25 mins

Carefully open the packet by cutting along the top folds with a sharp knife, allowing the steam to escape. Be cautious of the hot steam! (2 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Stir gently to ensure the cauliflower and bell pepper are evenly coated in the creamy cheese sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy! (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality cheddar cheese sauce or adding a sprinkle of Gruyere cheese before baking.
Feel free to customize the vegetables! Broccoli florets, chopped onions, or sliced mushrooms would also be delicious additions.
If you prefer a slightly charred or caramelized top, open the foil packet during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Ensure the foil packet is tightly sealed to trap steam and cook the cauliflower evenly.
Adjust the amount of cheese sauce according to your preference. For a lighter dish, use less sauce.
