Whether following a low-carb diet or want a low-carb mashed potato alternative, this creamy cauliflower is for you! This easy recipe is the perfect side dish to add to your Thanksgiving feast.
Why Cauliflower?
Cauliflower is not only lighter in calories than potatoes, but it is also lower in carbs, and it is more nutrient-dense. In addition, cauliflower has a mild flavor, which is why it is the perfect alternative.
Simple Ingredients:
This easy mashed cauliflower recipe is made with super simple ingredients. The taste is close to mashed potatoes, but it is cauliflower. I love cauliflower, so this is great.
Dairy-free heavy cream: If you don’t want higher fat content, use buttermilk instead of heavy cream. I also like using dairy-free because of my preference.
Butter: This is what gives this cauliflower that creamy, velvety texture.
Other Toppings: I used garlic and herb seasoning to finish this side dish. You can add more cheese, gravy, etc.
