You roast to perfection.You make spicy ‘wings‘.You can be roasted whole.You’re delicious in Banh Mi.You make tacos better (somehow). Seriously, I think I’m in love. This 6-ingredient, 30-minute recipe is bound to wow your guests this holiday season (and beyond). Cauliflower mocks mashed potatoes beautifully, and it all starts by steaming your cauliflower until tender.

While that’s happening, sauté garlic in some vegan butter (or olive oil – see notes if avoiding oil / butter). Or, keep your garlic raw for a punchier, stronger garlic flavor! Once steamed, transfer cauliflower in batches to a food processor (or use an immersion blender) to blend until smooth. You’ll add more salt and pepper to taste, and a dash of dairy-free milk to get a velvety, creamy texture. Major swoon! We hope you love this dish. It’s: Easy to makeHearty and comfortingSimply seasonedButteryGarlicky& utterly delicious This would make a beautiful side dish for the holidays and beyond! Top with more fresh garlic, vegan butter, and your favorite fresh herbs to really dress it up. You could even blend in a little nutritional yeast to add cheesy flavor, or vegan cream cheese for more creaminess.
