- Cauliflower mashed potatoes are a low-carb, healthy alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. My mashed cauliflower with garlic and herbs is easy to make (only 20 minutes!) and perfect if you're following a dairy-free, vegan, paleo or keto diet. This recipe can be enjoyed on it's own or mixed with regular potatoes for a lighter meal. Whip it up for the holidays or for a healthy Thanksgiving dinner. Enjoy!

Hey guys! I hope you enjoy this mashed cauliflower recipe. It really highlights the versatility of cauliflower - and don't forget I have a video for cauliflower rice (and lots more cauliflower recipes on my website). I'll be in NYC next week, so no video, but I've got the much requested spice drawer organization video coming soon! Keep your eyes peeled. - xo, Lisa

I really love your videos and I never get tired, many thanks 🙏🏽
Is boiling ok? I can't steam them
Hi! I don’t have a hand held blender, would I get the same results if I use a regular blender?
We add a little homemade chicken stock and parmesan cheese. YUM!
I recommend chopping garlic, frying it to a crisp and sprinkling it in top vs mixing it in to give some crunch. Soooo good!!!
That sounds amazing Allison 😊I'll have to try that next time.
I love crunch.
Great! I've been making mashed cauliflower for months. This method makes all the difference in the world. I've been simmering the cauliflower along with a few slivers of garlic; it gets waterlogged. I just tried your method, using my food processor, it came out fluffy, not soggy. And the sautéed garlic was so much nicer than the cauliflower/garlic/simmer method. Salt, pepper, lots of parsley, awesome. Thank you. Upgrade!
Awesome! So happy to hear you enjoy the new and improved version. ;) x
That is exactly the recipe I was looking for to make my cauliflower. I must admit that every time I look for a recipe, I end up in your channel to find the perfect recipe. You are precious to me! Keep it up!!
Great recipe. If someone is whole food plant based they can saute garlic in vegetable broth and add that. Gives and even yummier flavor. Also love a dash of nutmeg sprinkled on top. Adds that extra fall flavor and yummy smell to the dish. Thanks. Love your videos.
Wonderful tips Sylvia - thanks so much for sharing! ❤️
Pro tip. Don't steam the cauliflower you lose flavor that way. Instead. Put them in a sauce pan with alittle oil and heat them up very slowly as not to brown them. Much more creamy. Much more flavorful
I agree although getting a bit of color on the cauliflower enhances the flavor.
Okay but do you add tablespoons of water? They take a while to cook and eventually will brown
Nooooo🥲 I just steamed all of my cauliflower rice already 🤦🏻♀️
So for someone with a kid who doesn't like the taste of cauliflower it's better to steam it, right? 😅😂
I don't get much flavour while boiling it for soup as well.
Hi Lisa! The easiest way to steam cauliflower is to use the zero minute setting on high pressure of an Instant Pot. Perfect every time. Use 1/2 cup water in the inner pot, add steamer basket and the cauliflower florets. Close lid and make sure the lid is in sealed position. Set to high pressure for zero minutes. When Instant Pot reaches pressure, it will read zero. Using QPR, quick pressure release, release all remaining pressure. Cauliflower is perfectly steamed and ready to eat or use in recipe. Thanks for a great recipe!
Too much work, it easier to wash a steamer.
@@m4marcel I agree! And steaming doesn't take much time at all plus I'm usually busy preparing something else so it makes no difference to cook the cauliflower faster 🤷🏻♀️
I agree! Easier and faster with the pressure cooker. Thanks for the specifics. It worked great for me.
Yes!!!!
I’ve started watching your videos as a therapy and not just for cooking 😅! How simple and how beautiful! Simple, pleasant and soothing to whoever watches this. I love how gracefully you present every video. Thank you!
I'm so glad you find my videos soothing and calming to watch and listen to 😊
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, your kitchen is pretty sweet! I recently was injured from a fall resulting in a broken back, broken ribs, concussion and ripped rotary cup. As a result of being layed up for a couple months I gained some weight. My body is used to being active and in shape so now part of my therapy is learning to eat healthier. Your time sharing your knowledge is a blessing and want to thank you for what you do! Keep up the good work and have safe travels my friend. (Butch in Niagara Falls).👍
I tried your recipe and it was delicious. I just recently got diagnosed with Hashimoto desease so your recipes are God sent 🙏 thank you!
This is definitely my family favorite. Thx so much Lisa
I followed your method and it came out perfectly. I have been trying to get it right and always ended up with a watery purée and actually gave up on it but gave it one more try with your direction and it turned out great! I've made at least 5 of your recipes and have been really pleased. You definitely know what's up!
Wonderful! Glad this recipe turned out perfectly for you Annie 😊
This was absolutely amazing! My grandpa loved it ❤
I knew I would find the easiest & best mashed cauliflower recipe on your channel! Saving this for sure, as I dearly miss mashed potatoes.
Made this recipe tonight and it was FANTASTIC!!!!! Thank you so much. Look forward to your other videos.
Awesome! So happy to hear you loved the recipe Kevin! And I've got lots of healthy recipes coming in January. :)
I love this recipe. It tasted Amazing. My whole family loves it!!
Wow! I absolutely love this recipe, Hun. I will certainly be adding this to my Sunday dinner this week🇬🇧Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am thinking of whipping up a shepherds pie, with a mashed cauliflower instead of potato!
That is a great idea!!! I need as many ideas as I can get cause I may just break my healthy eating streak soon 😅😅
@@BriSoza it turned out really well! I may need to make it again soon 👌.
Good idea lol
@@BriSoza Same 🤦🏾♀️😅
How do you not have more subscribers? All the content you bring us is creative, modern and best of all delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Aww, thanks so much! Hopefully my channel will continue to grow. :) x
Thank you, it looks absolutely delicious!
You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for such a lot of delicious receipes 👏👏👏
Mmm so yummy looking yey so simple. 😊
I made this today and I love it. This will be made every holiday and then some
So glad to hear that 😊It's a great holiday side dish 😊
I never made mashed cauliflower before! That looks great, Lisa! For the holidays... Do you have a healthy recipe for gingerbread cookies? I would love to see that!
Hi Marina - you'll definitely have to give this mashed cauliflower a try! And yes, I do have a fab gingerbread cookie recipe! I'll try to post it on the blog before the holidays. :) x
I absolutely love food hacks like this its low calorie highly nutritious and still tastes great
It really is the perfect alternative to mashed potatoes 😊
Looks delicious. I keep forgetting about my steamer gizmo - thanks for reminding me. I am a low carb guy, and I make cauliflower mash often. Only recently, I've added butter beans to the mix. Not only does that add protein, but gives the mash added texture and flavour. 😋
Simple! Quick! Thank you!
Thank you for uploading this amazing video... I was thinking for this recipe and yours was super delicious.
I have just discovered your CZcams Chanel. I really love all of your recipes, I suffer from hbp and I am trying my best to eat more vegetarian options. Thank you for giving me ideas on how to add flavour to vegan meals.
I'm so glad you stumbled upon Downshiftology 😊Hope you get tons of new ideas on my CZcams and don't forget to check out my website for many more recipes!
Looks great!👌🏽
Thank you for sharing. Will try this tonight 🤍🤍🤍
Hope you enjoy Stefanie 😊
Your videos are awesome and fantastic I really appreciate what you doing it help me a lots in my preparation of my daily food and also I enjoy them too
So glad to hear that!
Finally find videos making low carb recipes.
Thanks alot
Definitely going to try this. YUM!
Look so simple and delicious! Can’t wait to try this :)
Enjoy!
This entire time I've followed you on Instagram and didn't even know there was a CZcams channel.
Gonna try this recipe out for my husband and I's anniversary this weekend. Been married for six months now, and don't want to fall off the keto-wagon.
Congrats on your anniversary Christy! Hope you both enjoy this recipe 😊
lovely. I usually add one small potato, sweet or any other. Delicious!
That's great but that defeats of purpose of making mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes. Potatoes are high in starch.
I’ve just tried it and oh my God it's the best😭🥺🥺
Wonderful! Glad you loved these cauliflower mashed potatoes!
Love it! Thank you.
Great cauliflower recipe!!!! Thanks!!!
Glad you enjoyed this recipe Carol 😊
This was amazing!!! Thank you!❤
Can't wait to try this. Ugh you genius! Lol also can I make a sweets related request? Can you please film a gluten free, vegan traditional *Vanilla* cake? I have been craving it for over 6 months with no success. I am highly intolerant to eggs, dairy and gluten. Everything else is fine. I've spent hours researching but still nothing that taste remotely like real cake. Even with pre made flour(bobs, King A) my cakes come out like dense gummy bricks. Anyway id love to be able to enjoy sweets again. Especially for my upcoming bday Thankyou so much!!
First of all, happy early birthday! As for the cake request, that's a great question. I don't think I've had a decent gluten-free vanilla cake recently, let alone one that's vegan. I'll have to put my thinking cap on for that one! Stay tuned. :) x
I will.. l have faith in you!
This looks terrific. We just bought a giant cauliflower head today, so tomorrow we are going to eat this with seabass.
This will be perfect with seabass 😊
Omg I made this and it's really good I used my vitamix to mix together and it came out great. I added some heavy cream and butter to the blender wow so good
Good to know this turned out great in your Vitamix!
Looks good will try it. Ty
HI, I love your vidoes... question on where you got your hanging herb garden pots (or the whole thing)? Thanks!
I got that from IKEA. :)
Great recipe. About the limit of my ability. Lol. Love keto. I make Indian curries but need a no carb base.
I love how clean you work! Doing this tonight’s dinner!
Hope you enjoy it!
You can find frozen versions of this. Along with bean pasta, you can cut back on carbs without going insane. There's also whole grain pan cake batter with whey protein. Brown rice sushi and pizza. I mean, if you try really hard you could do a strict diet for a long time.
Although taste-wise, mashed cauliflower is the only thing that's almost indistinguishable from the real thing. I actually like this better than mashed potatoes.
Thanks, very helpful video...
Glad it was helpful!
This looks amazing!
Actually, I often make dishes like that to use up the stems (along with some florets, of course) because I don't want to toss them.
I'm kinda surprised you used the florets only.
May I ask why, and do you have other options, like broth, soups or so, to use up the stems of broccoli, cauliflower and the likes? (Same for the leaves, they are actually very tasty in soups, stir fries and so on.)
I'm always happy to discover new ways to do that, as I don't want to waste them. 😉
Thanks! And yes, you can absolutely use the stems in this (I probably should have showed that). But I do use the stems for bone broth or grate it for cauliflower rice (to use on salads). Maybe I'll have to do another video in the future about how to use leaves and stems that most throw away. Thanks for the idea!! :) x
Downshiftology Cauliflower rice, of course! Why didn't I think of that!? 😊 Thanks for the idea!
I would love for you to make a video on how to use up stems and leaves, there can never be enough inspiration for that, at least in my cooking world. 😉
Thanks for your great work, your channel is so amazing!
This is why we all need to share ideas - lots of brilliance to go around! ;) Thanks again for your kind words as well! ❤️
Is there actually a taste difference between the stem and the florets? I kinda assumed it's just for convenience when you eat them whole, but does it make a difference even when mashed?
Super simple. Thank you subbed!
Welcome to the Downshiftology community 😊
She knows everything.
since I got an eating disability cooking for me is a bit tricky but I got a best friend who is very exited to experiment and she loved this when we tred it, so mashed cauliflower with dry rubbed zaatar chicken wings are now our staple dish whenever I visit her ^^.
She also makes it herself despite being able to have mashed potatos just fine
I just had this yum thanks
So glad you loved this recipe! 😊
Adding mayo or mashed avocado 🙌🏾 thank you!
I love your channel. This looks super yummy. I also make cauliflower au gratin (with cheddar cheese) - also super yummy.
Thanks Michelle! And yes to the cauliflower au gratin - so good! I may have to make that myself...now that I'm thinking about it. ;) x
@@Downshiftology Yes, please! 😋. I vote for cauliflower au gratin video!
I love your videos and your kitchen. I know you said you’re not low carb but I saw your meal prep week and I would like to ask you if you can make a video of keto meal prep for the week... so you dont have to cook everyday... just a few hours during the weekend. Thank you
I'll think about that for a future video. :)
This looks so good! I wonder if you have a cauliflower like mac n cheese. I had it while eating from the hot buffet at Whole Foods. It tasted excellent!
I don't...but I think I'll need to add that recipe. :)
I already have some frozen rice cauliflower? Can I use that instead?
Hi there I'm looking forward to trying out this recipe, can I freeze it.
Yes she said in one of the comments above and can keep in fridge 3-4 days.
Wowa Wiwa! And thank you!
I will have to try this recipe as I do try to stick to my low carb diet and it will be hard with the holidays coming up. Also I was wondering if you knew of any noodles that aren't so high in carbs that can be used in pasta's and asian dishes. Sometimes I can only eat so much zoodles or egg and cheese pasta.
Hi Holly - glad you like this recipe! I tend to make sweet potato and parsnip noodles quite a bit as well. Make sure you watch my spiralizer video for more ideas. And here's my Parsnip Noodle Chicken Alfredo recipe: downshiftology.com/recipes/parsnip-noodle-chicken-alfredo/ :)
Damn that looks bomb! Never thought I’d say this but...I’m kinda craving cauliflower😂
🤣
Will try it to morrow...thx from Thailand 🎼
Hope you enjoy 😊
Thank you so much ... 👍👍👍
Most welcome 😊
I noticed that this was under keto recipes however I heard you say Paleo so is it interchangeable? thank you
Do you how long cauliflower mash will keep? For example If I do a meal prep for an x number of days
It would keep for 3-4 days in the fridge. Though you could always freeze and then thaw as well.
Thank you!
Mine turned out a little grainy is that normal? I had to steam it twice as long and the unmashed cauliflower looked softer than the video... not sure what went wrong there
Absolutely gorgeous! Will make this very soon. Grocery List-Cauliflower; check!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy the recipe Kimberly!
Yummy!!!😋
LOVE ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ it !!!!!!!
Yum
I add cream cheese to it so yummy
Yummy
What stick blender do u use
Happy I found your channel
Welcome to the Downshiftology community!
.. to make it even better, add a spoonful of nutbutter or tahini! Even my husband who is a total meateater loves it.
Yum! I'll have to try that sometime :)
Sounds disgusting
looks delicious. love your videos. so easy to follow and do. looking forward to your next post. best to you :).
I'm so thrilled you love the videos Christina! I've got lots of exciting ones in the queue as well. :) x
I'm going to put in mash potato flavoring and imatation butter. looks good like your video.😊
I’m making this.
I want to trick my boyfriend by telling him these are potatoes... we're trying to get healthier and I don't think he'd try if he knew if was Cauliflower ahh 😂😂 this looks delicious!
Looks like I’m going to need about 5-10 heads of cauliflower to make a man sized meal out this!
So we just throw the stems away??? 😱
Can I use dry herbs?
I like this and have shared this video to my friends.
Thank you!
Nice
This is awesome thank you so much! I am making an Auto-immune protocol Shepherd's pie and this cauliflower mashed will be the centerpiece! Thank you very very much
Mix with cream and White Pepper and butter
What if I don’t have a steamer. How would I cook the cauliflower?
You can roast the cauliflower in the oven.
@@Downshiftology how long would you recommend?
Ha ha I suppose your right .
But there is an H and it’s not silent.
Love your videos,I would so love to be organised in the kitchen like this .keep up the great work
Thanks John! :)
Cook with Avocado oil instead of Olive oil. Olive oil has a much lower smoke point which makes it very bad to digest after cooking with it. Just throwing that out there. Use your olive oil as a dressing for your veggies after they've been cooked, or add it to whatever you've made AFTER it's been cooked.
Can you do this recipe with cauliflower rice?
Can't eat oils, what else to use?
Delish
Do you have to use olive oil if you are using squeezable cauliflower?
I would still use the oil to saute the garlic, though you could use butter or ghee as well.
Parsley sage rosemary and thym
