Mashed Cauliflower
I never thought I’d see the day when I’d be making mock mashed potatoes. But here we are and I’m actually kind of obsessed – it must be that roasted garlic. Don’t get me wrong though I’m definitely not giving up Mom’s Mashed Potatoes, I was just looking for something else to add to the rotation to switch things up.
How to Make Mashed Cauliflower
Roast the garlic in the oven until golden brown. Steam cauliflower over stovetop. Remove garlic from skins add to a food processor along with cauliflower, parmesan, butter, Greek yogurt, thyme, salt and pepper. Remove top insert from food processor and process until smooth. Serve warm with parsley and another dab of butter if desired.
The Addition of Roasted Garlic and Parmesan is a Game Changer
And that roasted garlic is like candy to me. Whenever there’s roasted garlic making an appearance at the dinner table we all know things are going to be good. Then the parmesan adds a bit of richness and a good balance of saltiness. I love it here because cauliflower has a mild flavor so it gives it that special something. Along with the few dabs of butter of course..
A Great Alternative to Mashed Potatoes
These are great if you are on a low carb diet and have been missing mashed potatoes. While they don’t have the exact same flavor and texture of mashed potatoes they are still oh so satisfying! They aren’t as heavy as mashed potatoes and I love the addition of parmesan and herbs that’s more fitting with cauliflower. Serve this with oven roasted chicken or pan seared steak for a delicious meal!
