50/50 Cauliflower Mash Recipe

Hacking Nutrition

If you are looking at reducing your carb intake from your diet, or if you have kids that don't necessarily eat vegetables, cauliflower mash is an excellent replacement for mashed potatoes. Cauliflower mash mimics the same volume of regular mashed potatoes, without giving away the flavor. By roasting some cauliflower, and processing it, adding some vegan milk - or regular milk and butter if non-vegan - this recipe hides nutrition within your prep adding a great amount of nutrients, unnoticeable to the eye. Feel free to add nutritional yeast for a vegan cheesy addition, and a boost in B vitamins. 

A Few Tips from our Chef, to you:

  • When roasting the cauliflower, high heat is your friend. Look for color in the cauliflower, as this caramelization yields massive amounts of flavor. My favorite way of seasoning vegetables in general is salt, pepper, and olive oil (not extra virgin) or grape seed oil.
  • Always wash your potatoes before cutting them. Leaving the skin-on adds extra fiber. 
  • By eliminating the potatoes, this recipe becomes a great keto side dish recipe!
  • Feel free to add any non-dairy milk to smooth and process the potatoes in an easier manner. Vegetable stock helps, but milks provide further creaminess. Add regular milk and butter for a creamer option. A small amount of butter never killed no one!
