20 Paleo Thanksgiving Recipes: Loaded Mashed Cauliflower
Ingredients
- 2 medium heads of cauliflower
- 8 pieces bacon, diced
- 2 tbsp ghee, (or coconut oil for dairy free)
- 2 cups shredded cheese
For the seasoning:
- 1 tbsp parsley
- 1 tbsp chives
- 1 tsp dill weed
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp ground pepper
Optional topping:
- Chopped fresh chives
- Additional shredded cheese
Instructions
- Cut the cauliflower into medium sized florets and place them into a pot. Fill the pot with water to cover the florets. Place the pot on the stove and cover, turn heat on high and bring the water to a boil. Once the water reaches a boil, boil, covered for 15 minutes, or until the florets are very soft.
- While the cauliflower is cooking, dice bacon and place it in a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is browned, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel lined plate.
- While the bacon is cooking, shred the cheese and prepare the seasoning mix by adding all of the seasoning ingredients to a small bowl or jar and mixing well.
- Once the cauliflower is cooked, dump it in a colander to drain.
- Add the cauliflower back into the pot and mash with a potato masher (SEE RECIPE NOTE 1). Keep the heat on low to help evaporate any water.
- Add in the ghee, seasoning mix, bacon and cheese. Mix well to incorporate. Serve topped with optional toppings as desired. (SEE RECIPE NOTES 2 & 3)
