Creamy Mashed Cauliflower (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 medium cauliflower head (about 2 pounds), cut into florets

02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

03 - 7 cloves garlic, roasted until golden

04 - ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard

05 - ¼ to ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

06 - Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

→ For Serving

07 - Fresh chives, finely chopped (optional garnish)

# Instructions:

01 - Fill a large pot with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower florets and cook until they're completely tender when pierced with a knife, roughly 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly in a colander.

02 - Transfer the drained cauliflower to your food processor. Add the melted butter, roasted garlic cloves, Dijon mustard, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Pulse and blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately, topped with fresh chives if you like.

# Notes:

01 - This creamy cauliflower mash makes an excellent low-carb substitute for traditional mashed potatoes

02 - Perfect for holiday meals like Thanksgiving - just remember to scale up the recipe if you're feeding a larger crowd

03 - If your food processor is on the smaller side, you may need to work in batches to get the smoothest texture
