Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower florets
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 medium parsnips
• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 3 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing and chopping the cauliflower into florets. Peel and slice the carrots and parsnips into uniform pieces so they cook evenly.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the cauliflower, carrots, and parsnips to the boiling water, and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 3

Once the vegetables are cooked, drain them in a colander and set them aside.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, add the ghee. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl or a food processor, combine the boiled vegetables, melted ghee with garlic, unsweetened almond milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Use an immersion blender or a food processor to blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk if necessary.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. If you prefer more flavor, add more salt, pepper, or even a touch more ghee.

Step 8

Finely chop the fresh chives and sprinkle them over the top of the mashed vegetables before serving. This adds a fresh and subtle onion flavor.

Step 9

Serve the mashed vegetables warm as a side dish to complement any Whole30 meal.
