Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Cut the cauliflower into florets.
- Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil, over high heat. Add the cauliflower and boil for a couple of minutes – just enough so the florets are tender but retain a somewhat firm texture. Strain the cauliflower in a colander, and discard the water.
- Add the cauliflower to a food processor, along with the remaining ingredients and pulse until a smooth and creamy consistency is reached. You can also use an immersion blender.
- Salt and pepper to taste. Add more olive oil or butter if you wish.
Tip!
Though there are some colorful varieties of cauliflower available, stick to the white for the best mashing potential.
If you don’t have fresh cauliflower, you can also use pre-packaged “riced” cauliflower.
Sprinkle fresh parsley or chives on top before serving. Delish!

Omg it was amazing didn't even taste like cauliflower.
A wonderful replacement for mashed potatoes and the cheesy-buttery flavor is over the top! I will try cream cheese for
comparison next time around As for one saying a cauliflower is too much; there are only two of us---so why not buy a bag
of florets----No fuss or muss plus it is less and will not go to waste.
be draining off water when done. I also left the cauli slightly grainy---but I think it is
preference. Also--a side note but lately when my hubby leaves for work--I plan our
dinner for the night and get started early in the morning. (FInd I am too spent at the
end of a busy day plus I have all the cooking utensils washed and put away. Also
popped some keto rolls into the oven, so one less thing there too. (They are also
over the top and only 2 carbs--But sometimes I only eat half.
