Instructions
-
In a medium pot, add about an inch of water. Place cauliflower florets in the pot, cover, and set the heat to medium-high, bringing the water to a gentle boil. Allow the florets to steam for 12-17 minutes until they are fork-tender and soft.
-
Drain all the water from the pot and transfer the steamed cauliflower to a blender. Add olive oil, sour cream, garlic cloves, and salt and pepper to taste.
-
Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
-
Scoop the cauliflower "mashed potatoes" into a serving bowl. Enjoy!
Tami’s notes
Achieve the desired texture by adjusting the blending time. Blend for a shorter duration for a chunkier consistency or longer for a smoother, creamier result.
Experiment with different herbs and seasonings to customize the flavor. Consider additions like grated Parmesan, rosemary, or nutmeg for a unique twist.
