Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 3 medium Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.
In a large pot, add the cauliflower florets and the sliced garlic. Fill with enough water to cover the vegetables and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Drain the cauliflower and garlic completely, ensuring no excess water remains.
In a blender or food processor, combine the drained cauliflower, olive oil, almond milk, nutritional yeast, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Transfer the cauliflower mash to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh rosemary or black pepper, if desired.
Serve warm alongside your favorite vegan main dish or as a comforting side.
