Steamed Mashed Cauliflower

4.0
(38)

Steam cauliflower with a microwave instead of a steamer, and do it without butter, milk, extra calories, or carbs. It's very light and tasty. My 12-year-old child is very picky but absolutely loves my faux mashed "potatoes" as they are very similar in texture and taste to the real thing. As an extra, we've even added roasted garlic cloves. Heavenly!
