When I first tried cauliflower mash, I was shocked at how much it reminded me of mashed potatoes! Such a simple swap leading to a lower carb side dish that the whole family will love.
The best part about this recipe is the addition of roasted garlic. As the garlic cooks in the oven, all of the bitterness is removed and you are left with a much less pungent and creamy soft garlic flavor. The key to making this mash perfect and creamy is making sure your cauliflower is perfectly cooked through so you can easily pierce it with a fork, then blending it for longer than you think you should. It should be SUPER smooth and once it is, you will have created the perfect side sub!
