Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 large carrot
- 1 medium parsnip
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Peel the potatoes, carrot, and parsnip and cut them into roughly 1-inch chunks.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes, cauliflower florets, carrot, and parsnip, and cook them for about 15-20 minutes or until all the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the vegetables are boiling, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it's fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Drain the cooked vegetables thoroughly and return them to the pot. Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, begin to mash the vegetables until they are broken down.
Slowly add the unsweetened almond milk to the vegetables while continuing to mash, adjusting the consistency to your preference.
Stir in the sautéed garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Blend everything until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Taste the mashed vegetables and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Transfer the mashed vegetables to a serving bowl or individual plates. Sprinkle the top with fresh chopped chives before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish on its own or pair it with your favorite entrée.
