Ingredients

1 head Cauliflower large, chopped into florets
2 cloves Garlic minced
2 tbsp Butter grass-fed
1 tbsp Thyme
Sea Salt & Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

Place cauliflower florets in a large steamer basket on the stove (or electric steamer) and steam for 15 minutes or until very soft.
Transfer steamed florets to a food processor or high-speed blender along with the garlic, butter, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Process until desired texture. For example, if you prefer a chunkier mash, you can use a hand masher for this step.
Transfer to a serving bowl and keep warm or divide between plates and top with extra butter if desired.
Garnish with chopped thyme.

Notes

More Carbs: Make with half cauliflower and half mashed potatoes.

Dairy-Free: Replace butter with extra-virgin olive oil.

Make it Cheesy: Add nutritional yeast or parmesan cheese to the mash (approximately 1 tbsp per serving).
