My husband loves mashes potatoes and well, so do I, but my waist sure doesn’t! So in preparation for Thanksgiving I have been working on and perfecting a superb substitute – Garlic Mashed Cauliflower. In fact, it’s so good, I can’t stop making them and I just made a new batch today. This mashed cauliflower recipe is vegan, anti-inflammatory keto, and paleo.
Garlic Mashed Cauliflower
Ingredients:
- 1 head of cauliflower cut into 8-10 pieces
- 3 cloves of unpeeled garlic
- 1/4 cup Almond milk (can use coconut milk to make it anti-inflammatory)
- salt & pepper to taste
You Need:
- Double boiler
- Immersion Hand Blender
- Large mixing bowl

Instructions:
- Place cauliflower and garlic in the double boiler and allow water to boil.
- Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes
- When cooked, place cauliflower in a large mixing bowl
- Squeeze garlic out of the peel into the bowl and discard the peels
- Add almond milk, salt and pepper
- Mix until you get to the consistency you like your mashed potatoes (I like mine a little lumpy).
- Serve
It makes a ton, but it refrigerates and heats up well. These will most certainly be on my Thanksgiving table next to the mashed potatoes. Guilt free and delicious!
