01 Step

Recipe View 12 mins Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook until fork-tender, approximately 8-10 minutes. Ensure the cauliflower is cooked through for a smoother mash. (Prep time: 2 minutes, Cook time: 8-10 minutes)

Recipe View 8 mins Drain and Dry: Thoroughly drain the cooked cauliflower in a colander. To remove excess moisture (critical for a non-watery mash), gently press the cauliflower with paper towels or spread it on a baking sheet and briefly roast in a warm oven (200°F/93°C) for about 5-7 minutes. (Drain time: 1 minute, Dry time: 5-7 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins Blend to Perfection: In a food processor, combine the drained and dried cauliflower, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, and seasoned salt. Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. For an even richer flavor, add the optional butter during processing. (Blend time: 2-3 minutes)

For a smoother texture, consider using an immersion blender directly in the pot after draining the cauliflower.
Roasting the garlic before mincing adds a deeper, more complex flavor to the dish. Wrap the garlic cloves in foil with a drizzle of olive oil and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.
Experiment with different seasonings! Try adding a pinch of nutmeg, a dash of hot sauce, or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for a unique twist.
