Additional Tips:

  • Is Mashed Cauliflower Good for You? Yes! Cauliflower is high in fiber, promoting a feeling of fullness and it's also low in calories, making it a great substitute for high-calorie foods like potatoes and rice.
  • Steaming vs. Boiling Cauliflower: Steaming retains more nutrients than boiling, but both methods work well for this recipe. If you're boiling, consider using the broth in soups to make the most of the nutrients.
  • Overcooked Cauliflower: If your cauliflower overcooks, it's still useful! You can make this mashed cauliflower recipe or use it for soups, baby food, au gratin, or a cheesy cauliflower casserole.
