I knew I wanted to try lentil meatloaf and the best side for meatloaf is mashed potatoes. I didn’t have regular potatoes but knew that I had a bag of frozen cauliflower florets that could be easily made into a cauliflower mash. This cauliflower mash came out so creamy + delicious that I think I will always just make this recipe with frozen cauliflower bc it was so fast and simple! If you have cauliflower in your fridge or freezer, highly recommend making it this week with your dinner. Happy eating!

Serves: 2-3 servings
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower or 16 oz bag frozen cauliflower
- 1 tbsp ghee (not dairy-free but lactose-free and I find it's easier on my stomach!), vegan butter or olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp coconut milk or non-dairy milk
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- S+P to taste
Instructions
- Rinse and cut the cauliflower into florets if using a head of cauliflower. Heat up a pot of water to boil and then place the steaming basket on top of the pot. Turn the heat down to medium and place a lid on top and steam the cauliflower florets for about 8 minutes or until tender.
- Add cauliflower, ghee, garlic cloves, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, salt + pepper to a high power blender or food processor.
- Blend starting on low and increasing to the highest speed for about 1 or so until the cauliflower is creamy and the consistency of “mashed potatoes”.
- Serve immediately as a side dish to any meal. Enjoy!
