Ingredients

Mashed Cauliflower

  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • Black pepper, optional

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • Food processor or immersion blender

Instructions

Prepare the Mashed Cauliflower

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

  3. Drain the cauliflower very well in a colander.
  4. Let the cauliflower sit in the colander for 2-3 minutes so excess steam and moisture can escape.
  5. Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor, or place it in a deep bowl if using an immersion blender.
  6. Add the butter and garlic salt. Add black pepper if desired.
  7. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed if using a food processor.

Notes

  • Do not add milk, cream, broth or water. Cauliflower naturally contains plenty of moisture, and adding extra liquid can make the mash thin or watery.
  • Drain the cauliflower thoroughly and allow excess steam to escape before blending for the thickest texture.
  • Nutrition is estimated per serving based on 4 servings. Values will vary depending on the size of the cauliflower head and the brands of butter and garlic salt used.
