Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 3 tbsp. vegan butter, melted
- 1 tsp. garlic powder (or 2 garlic cloves, mashed)
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp. Olive oil and fresh parsley for garnishing
Instructions
- Using a steamer or steamer basket in a pot of boiling water, steam the cauliflower florets for about 6-8 minutes. Do not steam them for more than 8 minutes or they will get soggy.
- Remove from the heat, uncover the pot, and allow the cauliflower to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Add the cauliflower to a mixing bowl and start to mash. You can use a mashing tool, or you can whip them with a hand mixer. When the cauliflower is smooth, add the vegan butter, garlic powder, sea salt & pepper, and a little olive oil. Mix well and serve.
