Enjoy this rich, creamy, and flavorful keto-friendly mashed cauliflower. Roasting the garlic brings out a deep sweetness that makes this a perfect comfort food replacement.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 whole head garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the top off the head of garlic, exposing the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
  3. Toss the cauliflower florets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast the garlic and cauliflower for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned.
  5. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skin into a food processor or high-speed blender.
  6. Add the roasted cauliflower, butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese to the food processor.
  7. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add more cream if a thinner consistency is desired.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving warm.

Notes

  • For an extra smooth texture, use a potato ricer after steaming or boiling the cauliflower instead of roasting.
  • If you do not have a food processor, a hand mixer can work, but it will require more effort to reach a smooth consistency.
  • Jacob recommends adding a pinch of nutmeg for depth of flavor.
