Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 cups Spinach (fresh)
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by removing the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, and then chop the cauliflower into florets.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until tender.

Step 3

While the cauliflower cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside once done.

Step 6

Once the cauliflower is tender, drain it well and allow it to sit in the colander for a few minutes to ensure all water is removed.

Step 7

Transfer cauliflower to a blender or food processor. Add butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Blend or process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.

Step 9

If the mixture is too thick, add extra heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 10

Gently fold in the wilted spinach until evenly distributed throughout the mashed cauliflower.

Step 11

Transfer the low-carb mashed potato mixture to a serving dish and serve hot as a delicious side dish.
