Keto Cauliflower Mash Recipe
This Keto Cauliflower Mash is a low-carb alternative to mashed potatoes, making it the perfect side dish for a keto diet. It’s creamy, flavorful, and full of healthy fats!
Ingredients
(Serves 4)
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free version)
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional for extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for added richness)
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Cook the Cauliflower
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Drain the cauliflower well, making sure to remove any excess water. You can also pat it dry with a paper towel to prevent it from being too watery.
2. Mash the Cauliflower
- Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a mixing bowl or a food processor.
- Use a potato masher, immersion blender, or food processor to mash or blend the cauliflower until smooth.
3. Add Butter, Cream, and Cheese
- Add the butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese (if using). Continue mashing or blending until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- If you like, stir in garlic powder or minced garlic for extra flavor.
- Optionally, mix in the grated Parmesan cheese for a cheesy richness.
4. Season and Serve
- Taste the mash and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Garnish with fresh chives or parsley, if desired.
- Serve immediately as a side dish.
Tips
- Extra Creamy Texture: For an ultra-creamy texture, add more cream cheese or heavy cream to your desired consistency.
- Flavor Variations: You can add a dash of nutmeg or roasted garlic for a different flavor.
- Make Ahead: Store the cauliflower mash in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
This Keto Cauliflower Mash is the perfect low-carb, rich, and creamy side dish that fits right into your keto meal plan! 🧄🧈
