These cauliflower “mashed potatoes” are the perfect low-carb side dish. When I started the South Beach Diet, I couldn’t have mashed potatoes and this recipe was an awesome alternative. Even people who hate vegetables love it! I do recommend using a large food processor for this recipe.

Ingredients
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, smashed
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese
½ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan; fill with water just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil; add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Transfer 1/2 of the cauliflower to a food processor; cover and blend on high. Add remaining cauliflower florets, one at a time, until vegetables are creamy. Blend in cooked garlic, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper.
