Get our delicious recipe for mashed cauliflower. It’s super tasty and good for you too!
If you’ve ever felt dismal, dreary or drained in your quest for lower carb living, be saddened no more! We’ve already shown you how cauliflower can be used instead of flour in breadsticks and pizza crust and how to make soft and fluffy cauliflower rice for using instead of rice in things like stuffed peppers. Now cauliflower will wow us with its transformative properties when it subs in for potatoes. We’re mashing cauliflower instead of potatoes and adding some Parmesan cheese to create a flavor profile that will knock the socks off of any tried and true mashed potato lover.
This Mashed Cauliflower with Cheese actually needs no added heavy cream to create a silky texture. We’ll sauté the cauliflower in stock before pureeing which will not only create perfect texture, but amazing flavor when paired with Parmesan.
Are you excited? I am. Let’s do it!
