You will love this recipe once you see how easy it is to prepare and how delicious it tastes. Here is everything you have to do:

1. Preheat your oven to 400F / 200C.

3. Wash your cauliflower and cut the cauliflower florets. Add them to a pot filled with water over medium-high heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until tender.

Tips For Making The Best Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

• Constantly scrape the food processor bowl’s edges to blend everything well.
• Use only the cauliflower florets, not the stems, to achieve the ideal texture! Leave out the stems since they will make the texture more gritty.
• Ensure you drain all the liquid before blending the cauliflower because otherwise, the mashed cauliflower will become runny.

Storing Ideas

• Fridge – You can store the leftovers for up to seven days in an airtight container in the fridge.
• Freezer – I don’t recommend freezing the cauliflower mashed potato leftovers because they will change their texture and flavor once you defrost them.
