Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 small Carrots
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 cup Heavy Cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the head of cauliflower and breaking it into florets. Peel and slice the carrots into small pieces.

Step 2

Place the cauliflower florets and sliced carrots in a large pot of water. Ensure that the cauliflower and carrots are completely submerged.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for about 12 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.

Step 4

Drain the cauliflower and carrots thoroughly in a colander, allowing them to steam dry for a few minutes. This will help remove excess water to achieve a creamier mash.

Step 5

Transfer the drained cauliflower and carrots back into the pot or a large mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add the butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the vegetables.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender or a potato masher, blend or mash the cauliflower and carrots until smooth and creamy. You may adjust seasoning according to your taste.

Step 8

Stir in the chopped chives and mix until evenly incorporated.

Step 9

Serve the keto mashed cauliflower and carrots hot as a side dish, garnished with additional chives if desired.
