2 (10 ounce) bags Mann’s Cauliflower
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 medium red bell pepper, julienned
⅓ cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

The Method

Preheat oven to 350°F °. Bring large pot full of water to boil (large enough for all cauliflower florets). Carefully place Cauliflower into salted boiling water. Leave in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Sauté red bell peppers in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over moderate heat. When peppers soften, add green onions, garlic and parsley. Continue to sauté another 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large shallow baking pan. Place Cauliflower florets in pan and season with salt and pepper then top with avocado. Spread sautéed red pepper mixture evenly over the top of the cauliflower and avocado. Top with grated cheese. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Top with bacon and serve.
