Garlic Mashed Cauliflower image

This recipe is so easy and healthy. I love mashed potatoes, and when I started the South Beach Diet® and couldn't have them, I had to find an alternative. This is an awesome alternative, and people who hate vegetables love it. I do recommend using a large food processor for this recipe.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, smashed
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese
½ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Transfer half the cauliflower to a food processor; cover and blend on high. Add remaining cauliflower florets, one at a time, until vegetables are creamy. Blend in garlic, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I also like to add some roasted vegetables to it for a more flavorful dish.

I'm allergic to garlic, so I substituted it with onion powder. It was still delicious!

This recipe was too complicated for me. I ended up burning the cauliflower.

I followed the recipe exactly and my mashed cauliflower turned out watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some salt and pepper to it and it was much better.
