Nothing is more satisfying than a heaping pile of mashed potatoes. But, nothing is more uncomfortable than feeling over-stuffed on food made from not-so-good ingredients. That’s why I created this Vegan Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower.
Made from two heads of cauliflower, vegan butter, coconut milk and nutritional yeast, this simple side dish has all the flavor and texture of traditional mashed potatoes and packs a healthy punch!
