Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 small Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cup Heavy Cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
Begin by washing the head of cauliflower and breaking it into florets. Peel and slice the carrots into small pieces.
Place the cauliflower florets and sliced carrots in a large pot of water. Ensure that the cauliflower and carrots are completely submerged.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for about 12 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.
Drain the cauliflower and carrots thoroughly in a colander, allowing them to steam dry for a few minutes. This will help remove excess water to achieve a creamier mash.
Transfer the drained cauliflower and carrots back into the pot or a large mixing bowl.
Add the butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the vegetables.
Using an immersion blender or a potato masher, blend or mash the cauliflower and carrots until smooth and creamy. You may adjust seasoning according to your taste.
Stir in the chopped chives and mix until evenly incorporated.
Serve the keto mashed cauliflower and carrots hot as a side dish, garnished with additional chives if desired.
