Nothing is more satisfying than a heaping pile of mashed potatoes. But, nothing is more uncomfortable than feeling over-stuffed on food made from not-so-good ingredients. That’s why I created this Vegan Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower.
Made from two heads of cauliflower, vegan butter, coconut milk and nutritional yeast, this simple side dish has all the flavor and texture of traditional mashed potatoes and packs a healthy punch!

Ingredients
- 1 bulb garlic

- Roast the cauliflower and garlic for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are brown, but not burned.
- Transfer the cauliflower and garlic into a high-powered blender or food processor (depending on the size, you made need to do this in two batches).
- Add 3 Tbsp. of melted butter (microwave for about 10 seconds), ½ cup coconut milk, ¼ cup nutritional yeast, salt and pepper and blend until smooth. If you did this step in batches, add the rest of the cauliflower and an additional ¼ cup of coconut milk.

- Add the mashed cauliflower to a bowl and top with an additional ¼ Tbsp. of melted butter, finely chopped chives and salt and pepper.
