Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Chop the cauliflower into bite-size pieces and toss with olive oil to evenly coat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Place the cauliflower pieces on the baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes or until tender.
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together the heavy cream, paprika, mustard powder, and three types of cheese.
Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and smooth.
Add the roasted cauliflower and stir so that the cauliflower is evenly coated in cheese sauce.
Top with freshly cracked black pepper and freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm.

Save yourself the chopping and pick up a bag of prepped cauliflower in your grocery store to cut down on prep time.
If you are feeding a crowd, double the recipe, add it to a 9x13 baking dish, top the cooked cauliflower and cheese with extra cheese and broil in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
Don’t skip the mustard powder, it really creates a delicious flavor
You could also garnish with crispy bacon on top!
