Keto - Garlic and Chive Cauliflower Mash

Keto – Garlic and Chive Cauliflower Mash

A while ago my best friend had gone keto. She cut out sugar, carbs, and has lost A LOT OF WEIGHT! I did keto for several months and lost the last bit of weight I had. I felt great but I work out REALLY hard and realized that because of that I do need some carbs.I do still love a lot of the foods I ate while on keto including cauliflower rice, pizza crust, and cauliflower mash! I don't get a lot of carbs so these sides are great to add to our lunches and dinners.

This flavorful cauliflower mash pairs well with a wide range of beef, pork, chicken, and plant-based entrees. Plus, it comes together in under 30 minutes, so it is perfect for those busy weeknights when you want to get a healthy dinner on the table without too much fuss.

Recipe – Keto – Garlic and Chive Cauliflower Mash

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4

Tip: Steaming the garlic along with the cauliflower will remove the raw edge and make it more tender.

Ingredients:

1 medium cauliflower head, florets only
2-3 whole garlic cloves, peeled
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
2 T. unsweetened almond milk
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. onion powder
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
3 T. fresh chives, chopped

Directions:

Place the cauliflower florets and the garlic cloves into a steamer basket set over a pot of gently boiling water. Cover and steam until the cauliflower is fork-tender, around 15 minutes.
Transfer the cauliflower and garlic to a food processor or blender and add the olive oil, almond milk, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and process until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasonings, as desired.
Transfer to a serving bowl and top with fresh chives before serving. Enjoy!
