Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of cauliflower (about 2 pounds), cut into florets
- 4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (or olive oil)
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
- ½ cup heavy cream or milk
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the cauliflower by washing and cutting it into even florets. Steam until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Roast the garlic by wrapping the unpeeled cloves in foil with a drizzle of olive oil. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
- In a mixing bowl, combine steamed cauliflower, roasted garlic (squeezed from skins), butter, salt, and pepper. Add heavy cream or milk.
- Mash using a potato masher or hand blender until creamy and smooth. If desired, stir in grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to customize with herbs like chives or parsley for added freshness.
- To make it vegan, substitute butter with olive oil and use plant-based cream.
