Mashed Cauliflower (Vegan)
This vegan mashed cauliflower is super easy to make. It has a garlic flavour and is a great alternative to mashed potatoes.

Calories: 103kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower (5-6 cups chopped florets)
- 1 tablespoon almond milk
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Chop your cauliflower into florets. Do not include the core and the leaves.
- Add your cauliflower to a medium-sized pot and fill it with water. Place on the stove and boil until the cauliflower is very soft. It should be easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the water from the pot, then put the cooked cauliflower into a food processor or high-power blender.
- Blend until the cauliflower has reached your desired texture. I like mine to still have some small cauliflower pieces as opposed to being completely smooth. If you blend it too much, it will be perfectly smooth like a pudding, which I personally don’t like, but it’s all about personal preference.
- Scoop the mashed cauliflower into a mixing bowl and mix in all remaining ingredients. I mix by hand to avoid over-mashing the cauliflower in my blender.
Notes
If you have difficulty getting the cauliflower to blend, you can add a bit more almond milk, but don’t overdo it or else it will become too thin and liquidy.
Makes approximately 2 cups of mashed cauliflower. One serving is ½ cup.
