A low carb substitute for mashed potatoes that make a delicious side dish that’s low calorie and high fiber. The garlic butter gives it a wonderful flavor.
Let’s be real, I won’t tell you these taste like mashed potatoes so don’t be expecting that. I LOVE my mashed potatoes but I also love mashed cauliflower. Mashed cauliflower is a delicious side dish that needs to be appreciated as it is! These are low carb, low fat & low calorie and make a wonderful side dish where you would serve mashed potatoes. It’s an easy, fun way to get more vegetables in your diet.
I used riced cauliflower for the convince of just microwaving it in the bag. You can buy a head of cauliflower and cut it into florets and then steam the florets about 8-10 minutes until tender.
