Ingredients
- 1 garlic roasted, bulb
- 1 cauliflower chopped into florets, large head
- 3 Tbsp avocado oil or melted butter/ghee + more for serving
- 1/2 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the top off of the garlic, exposing the tops of the cloves.
- Drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of avocado oil or olive oil over the exposed cloves and wrap the whole bulb in foil. Roast 50 to 75 minutes, until garlic is deeply golden-brown and soft.
- While the garlic is roasting, chop the cauliflower and add it to a pot of water. Bring the pot to a full boil and cook until cauliflower is very soft, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Strain the cauliflower, then transfer it to a blender (note: if you have a potato masher, you can mash the cauliflower in the same pot you used for cooking instead of blending it).
- Add the avocado oil (or butter), sea salt, and roasted garlic to the blender and blend everything until cauliflower reaches desired consistency. Note: You may need to stop the blender a few times, scrape the sides and re-start.
- Taste the mashed cauliflower for flavor and add sea salt to taste.
- If desired, serve mashed cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of melted butter on top and/or a sprinkle of dried parsley.
