How To Make Cauliflower Mashed Fauxtatoes Recipe

1. Chop your fresh cauliflower into florets. Steam or boil the florets until they are completely soft and fork-tender.

2. This is the secret to a perfect texture! Remove the cauliflower from the water and drain well. Let it sit in the warm strainer for a few minutes to allow the excess steam and moisture to evaporate.

3. Transfer the warm, vented cauliflower into a food processor or high-speed blender. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, your packet of Ideal Protein Potato Puree, and your salt.

4. Pulse and blend the mixture until it reaches your desired creamy mashed potato consistency. Serve it warm and enjoy your guilt-free comfort food!

Tips:

• Cauliflower holds a lot of water. For the thickest, creamiest fauxtatoes, thoroughly pat your steamed cauliflower dry with a clean paper towel before putting it into the blender.

• Try roasting your cauliflower florets instead of boiling them! It adds a rich, slightly nutty flavour that takes this dish to the next level while remaining 100% Phase 1 compliant.

• This makes an incredible, filling side dish alongside your required daily lean dinner protein, like grilled chicken breast, steak, or white fish.
