Equipment
Ingredients
- 24 oz cauliflower I buy these in a bag, pre-cut
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp 24 Herbs Sprinkle Seasoning (Salt-free)
- 1 tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper 1/8 tsp is just a dash of black pepper
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 oz Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream add 1/4 cup at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Instructions
Roast the Cauliflower & Garlic
- Add the cauliflower florets to a large bowl.
- Drizzle the cauliflower with the olive oil, herb seasoning, sea salt and black pepper.
- Roast them in the your air fryer at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic to the air fryer and roast for an additional 5 minutes.
Make Cauliflower Mash
- Add the roasted cauliflower and garlic as well as remaining ingredients to a blender
- Blend until incorporated and creamy
Notes
- Roast instead of boil: This is one of the biggest flavor upgrades in the whole recipe. Roasting helps keep the mash from tasting watery and gives it a richer flavor.
- Blend while it’s warm: Warm cauliflower blends more smoothly.
- Start with less cream: You can always add more if you want to loosen it up.
- Don’t crowd the air fryer basket or sheet pan: If the cauliflower is packed in too tightly, it will steam instead of roast.
- Use softened cream cheese: It blends in more easily and helps keep the mash smooth.
