Cauliflower

Garlic Mashed Cauliflower makes a great low carb substitute for mashed potatoes. If you make them right, you won’t even be able to tell the difference!

Cauliflower is an extremely healthy vegetable. It’s very few calories– 100 grams (around 1/2 cup) is only 25 calories! It contains very low amounts of fat and carbohydrates, while being a good source of vitamin C, vitamin B, and vitamin K.

Because cauliflower has little to no flavor (just like a potato), you can add your own and make it taste the way you like!

Let’s look through our ingredients.

Ingredients

The first is Chef Shamy Garlic Butter. Seriously, this stuff would taste good on a flip flop. It adds a great garlic flavor, and some much need fat.

Sour cream and Parmesan cheese both add quite a bit to the dish. Sour cream lends a great creaminess to bring everything together. The Parmesan cheese provides a little punch of saltiness against the fat of the sour cream.

Of course, you’ll need to add more salt and pepper. You’ll need to taste it first to see what you think. I’d recommend 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of pepper.

Garnish with some fresh chopped parsley to bring some freshness.

Thanksgiving

We can’t discuss mashed potatoes (or mashed cauliflower) without talking about Thanksgiving. It’s the time of year that mashed potatoes and gravy dominate our thoughts.

Would this recipe be good on a Thanksgiving plate? Yes!

Can you put gravy on top? YES.

And you should!

Enjoy!
