Description
A creamy, low-carb take on classic mashed potatoes using cauliflower for a silky texture with fewer calories and more veggies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of cauliflower, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup of milk (or almond milk for dairy-free option)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Steam the chopped cauliflower until tender, about 10–15 minutes. Test with a fork — it should pierce easily.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30–60 seconds, being careful not to brown it.
- In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, sautéed garlic, milk, salt, and pepper. Blend in short bursts until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
For a richer mash, stir in a tablespoon of cream cheese or Greek yogurt. Adjust the creaminess by adding milk slowly to avoid making it too thin.
