Many people fear an austere lifestyle when eating a low carb ketogenic diet. Do you find yourself looking for low carb mashed potato substitutes? Maybe you’re familiar with low carb mashed cauliflower, but you experience technical difficulties: the mash is too watery, the cauliflower too bitter? Well follow along with Fluffy Chix Cook’s version of Roasted Mashed Cauliflower, aka Roasted Smashed Fauxtatoes, and experience low carb satisfaction. Never miss mashed potatoes again!

Cauliflower, perhaps the most beloved veggie in the Low Carb Land, gets prepared many ways: roast it, toast it, slice it, dice it, send it through a food processor…get the picture? Cauliflower is the low carb poster child for potato-substitutes, maybe the super hero?! Its versatility and (usually) mild flavor makes cauliflower a winner with young and old. On any given day millions are making mashed cauliflower in their kitchens—avowing it’s exact resemblance to mashed potaters. Even swearing allegiance to it! Of course, mashed cauliflower is a low carb staple. It’s a gravy and topping delivery system (GDS & TDS). And don’t forget the butter! Mashed anything, dripping with butter, gets our votes.

So why oh why am I coming to you with yet another tired-out, old recipe for mashed cauliflower?

Well, mainly cuz this recipe is good enough to make the trip to the new motherland—Fluffy’s new blog!

Don’t get me wrong, there are places and times when the neutrality of mashed cauliflower made by steaming or microwaving method is the perfect low carb – keto dinner paring. But if you’re sick of namby, pamby, wimpy mcwimpster, soggy woggy, and down-right wet cauliflower…then you’ll want this recipe for Fluffy Chix Cook Roasted Mashed Cauliflower aka Roasted Smashed Fauxtatoes, because a mashed cauliflower by any other name has never tasted as bold nor held such wonderful texture. And don’t skip the dusting of nutmeg. Combined with the nutty roasting and cream, the nutmeg gives it that little something different to throw it into the bombastically delicious category.

Roasted Mashed Cauliflower makes a robust side dish for your favorite protein. It reheats like a champ!

And, if you want an option for a “lighter version,” because you are fasting, or because you too have to consider calories (shhh that’s a dirty word in our world, so please don’t use it often, mkay…), please take a look over at our Fast Days Healing Days (IF/ADF website) version of Roasted Smashed Fauxtatoes. Just as delicious, but we heartlessly slashed about “a hunnert” calories off of our Fast Day version, while keeping the carbs low.
(Just promise to pardon the mess, Fast Days Healing Days is still under construction and we’re working just as hard as our not so fluffy little arms can go!)

Hey, so give us a shout out, mkay? What’s YOUR favorite way to enjoy the low carb keto wonders of cauliflower? Maybe your favorite will end up being next on our recipe list?!
