Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

1 head Cauliflower (cut into bite-sized florets)

Oils & Seasonings

3 tbsp Avocado oil
1/2 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper

Other Ingredients

1 14-oz can Sauerkraut (drained)
1 cup Sugar-free thousand island dressing (or any kind you want)
1 lb Corned beef (chopped into bite-size pieces)
8 oz Swiss cheese slices (approximately 8 slices, thickness may vary)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) to prepare for roasting the cauliflower.
Toss Cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with avocado oil, sea salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
Roast Cauliflower: Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast it in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the florets are tender and lightly browned, enhancing their flavor and texture.
Assemble Casserole: Keep the oven on. Transfer the roasted cauliflower to the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer the sauerkraut evenly over the cauliflower, then drizzle the thousand island dressing over the top. Add the chopped corned beef as the next layer, and finally, cover everything with Swiss cheese slices.
Bake Casserole: Place the assembled casserole back in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese has melted into a creamy topping.

Notes

Make sure to drain the sauerkraut well to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
You can substitute avocado oil with olive oil if preferred.
Feel free to use any variety of thousand island dressing according to your taste, including low-fat or sugar-free options.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
This dish is naturally gluten-free when using gluten-free thousand island dressing and corned beef.
