Keto Mashed Cauliflower
Keto Mashed Cauliflower with Cream Cheese is a luxurious and creamy alternative to traditional mashed potatoes for those wanting to reduce their daily carb intake or following a ketogenic diet!
Ingredients
- 1 Large Head Cauliflower or 2 medium heads
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded asiago cheese
Instructions
- Steam Cook or Boil Cauliflower for approximately 10 minutes, or until fork tender.
- Drain water, and return cauliflower back to pot. Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Add garlic powder, sea salt, pepper, butter, and cream cheese. Using a handheld mixer or traditional masher, mash/mix until slightly smooth. It’s okay to be slightly smooth. (it’s okay if slightly chunky!)
- Spray down a square casserole dish with non-stick spray. Add cauliflower mixture, and spread evenly. Top with asiago cheese. Place in oven until golden brown and bubbly.
- Once removed, allow 5 minutes to cool and set. Top with favorite garnishes of green onions, crumbled bacon, or more!
Notes
Instead of garlic powder you can use roasted garlic!
To Make Roasted Garlic: slice the head down the middle exposing the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, wrap in foil and bake for 30 minutes at 400. The cloves will soften enough to squeeze out of the bulb. The best part is this reheats well. Feel free to bake it the day before and then just microwave to reheat.
