Garlic Mashed Cauliflower

Garlic Mashed Cauliflower
Here is a fabulous “clean eating” alternative to mashed potatoes. Adding a little parmesan and cream cheese to this garlic mashed cauliflower gives it tons on flavor with fewer carbs.

I can not believe how much this cauliflower tastes just like mashed potatoes. If you’d like, you can also easily vary this by adding shredded low-fat cheese or making it more traditional with a little milk and butter if you’d like.

INGREDIENTS, makes 4 servings

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into small pieces.

1 TBSP cream cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 clove of garlic, minced

1/8 tsp chicken bullion powder

1/8 tsp black pepper

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.

Add the cauliflower to the boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes or until tender.

Drain well in a colander. Pat dry with paper towels to remove any excess water.

ENJOY!!

  19. I’ve tried this and it’s fabulous. I used sour cream instead of cream cheese, but I bet the cream cheese would be better. Yum! Thanks for sharing and linking up to Scraptastic Saturdays. This post will be shared via FB, Twitter and Pinterest. Have a wonderful week.
