Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower Recipes

CREAMY MASHED CAULIFLOWER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the top off of the garlic, exposing the tops of the cloves.
• Drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of avocado oil or olive oil over the exposed cloves and wrap the whole bulb in foil. Roast 50 to 75 minutes, until garlic is deeply golden-brown and soft.
• While the garlic is roasting, chop the cauliflower and add it to a pot of water. Bring the pot to a full boil and cook until cauliflower is very soft, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Strain the cauliflower, then transfer it to a blender (note: if you have a potato masher, you can mash the cauliflower in the same pot you used for cooking instead of blending it).
• Add the avocado oil (or butter), sea salt, and roasted garlic to the blender and blend everything until cauliflower reaches desired consistency. Note: You may need to stop the blender a few times, scrape the sides and re-start.
• Taste the mashed cauliflower for flavor and add sea salt to taste.
• If desired, serve mashed cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of melted butter on top and/or a sprinkle of dried parsley.

ROASTED GARLIC MASHED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450ºF.
• Place cauliflower florets, unpeeled garlic cloves, and sliced onions on a large baking sheet. Drizzle it all with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper to your preference, and toss with your fingers until the veggies are evenly coated.
• Arrange the veggies in a flat layer on the baking sheet and place in the oven to roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and you see those tasty browned edges.
• After the veggies have finished roasting, squeeze the garlic out of its peels. Transfer the cauliflower, onions, and garlic to a high-speed blender, or food processor. Add butter and puree. (Another method is to place all of the veggies into a pot and use an immersion blender to puree the cauliflower mash.)
• Then adding one tablespoon heavy whipping cream at a time, continue blending until desired mashed cauliflower lusciousness consistency is reached. Since cauliflower heads range in size, you might not need to use all 3 tablespoons of cream to reach a consistency of mash that suits your preference. Add don't forget those other optional ingredient add-ins!
• If reheating is needed, transfer cauliflower mash to a pot and warm it over medium-low heat until heated through. Then serve it up babe!
