Additionally, cauliflower is low in calories and carbohydrates, making it a great option for those following a low-carb or keto diet.

 

To make cauliflower mashed potatoes, start by chopping a head of cauliflower into small pieces and steaming or boiling it until it is tender. Then, drain the water and place the cauliflower in a blender or food processor. Add a tablespoon of butter or ghee, a pinch of salt and pepper, and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can also add some grated Parmesan cheese or sour cream to the mix.
