Recipe Tips

  • If you want this paleo-friendly mashed cauliflower to be super smooth with no lumps at all, then push it through a sieve using a spoon. This process may take some time, but the result is a lovely silky smooth mash. If it ends up taking too long, then be sure to reheat it by placing it back into a pot over low to medium heat.
  • On the slight chance you don’t have a food blender, then you can mash the cauliflower by hand. This method will take a bit longer and will also be harder to get the cauliflower smooth. Using the sieve method will help get it to a similar silkiness to the food processor method.
  • One thing you should do if you’re not a fan of garlic is to make sure you leave it out. The recipe will still taste pretty good without it.
  • If you’re finding the mash a little too thick for your liking, you can add some almond milk or coconut milk to help thin it out. I recommend adding a quarter cup of almond milk, but make sure you slowly add it until you get the consistency you prefer.
