- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cauliflower thoroughly and cut it into florets, discarding the stem and leaves.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the cauliflower florets and garlic cloves to the boiling water.
Step 3
Cook the cauliflower and garlic for 10-12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and can be pierced easily with a fork.
Step 4
Drain the cauliflower and garlic well, then transfer them to a food processor or a blender.
Step 5
Add olive oil, almond milk, salt, and black pepper to the cauliflower mixture.
Step 6
Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl or pitcher to ensure an even consistency.
Step 7
Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a medium-sized bowl. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Step 9
Serve the mashed cauliflower hot, garnishing with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor, if desired.
