Theresa’s Classic Mashed Cauliflower offers a wonderful low-carb side dish option that pairs beautifully with any savory meal. Made with just a head of cauliflower and full-fat sour cream, this recipe keeps your carb count to 11 grams per serving. It’s perfect for meal prep or a weeknight dinner, allowing you to enjoy a creamy, comforting alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. This simple dish may fit well into your low-carb eating plan, supporting your journey towards better metabolic health.

Instructions

  1. Using a large, very sharp knife, slice up the cauliflower into large chunks, making sure you remove as much of the stem as possible. (Tip: You can save the stems and dip in ranch dressing if you like.)
  2. Throw the cauliflower chunks into a big pot and fill with water, just until all the cauliflower chunks are submerged.
  3. Cover and bring to a boil (should take 5-7 minutes to get to a nice rolling boil) and then let it cook for another 5 minutes. Throw some salt in during the cooking process, or 1-2 bouillon cubes could work as well.
  4. Take it off the heat and drain out ALL the water. This is key to prevent watery mashed cauliflower!
  5. Put the pot back on the stove, turn to low, and mix in the sour cream. Salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Using an immersion blender, pulse everything right inside the pot to your desired creaminess. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you could transfer to a food processor to blend it until creamy.
  7. Add additional salt and pepper to taste, and serve with any savory dish!
