How To Make Keto Cauliflower Mash
Step 1
To get started, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and boil it for around 20 minutes until tender. Strain the cauliflower and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
Step 2
Take a blender or food processor and process the strained cauliflower until fluffy. Next, add the butter, garlic powder, and sour cream, then process again until it reaches a creamy texture.
Step 3
Now, take your grated cheese and fold it into the mixture. We used gouda, parmesan, and cheddar, but feel free to use your favorites. Once the cheese is incorporated, season it to taste with salt and pepper.
