Garlic Mashed Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, smashed
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan; fill with water until just below bottom of the steamer.
2. Bring water to a boil; add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Transfer ½ cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor; cover and process on high.
5. Blend in remaining cauliflower florets, one at a time, until creamy. Blend in cooked garlic, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper.
6. Serve and enjoy!
