These cauliflower "mashed potatoes" are the perfect low-carb side dish. When I started the South Beach Diet, I couldn't have mashed potatoes and this recipe was an awesome alternative. Even people who hate vegetables love it! I do recommend using a large food processor for this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 clove garlic, smashed

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan; fill with water just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil; add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. Transfer 1/2 of the cauliflower to a food processor; cover and blend on high. Add remaining cauliflower florets, one at a time, until vegetables are creamy. Blend in cooked garlic, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper.
