Cauliflower Mashers

Mashed potatoes are delicious, and while potatoes are technically Paleo, they’re also quite high in carbohydrates and glycemic index. Thankfully, cauliflower is a super versatile vegetable that can be cooked and then mashed into the consistency of traditional mashed potatoes, but with a much lower carb count! If you eat butter or ghee, we recommend topping this cauliflower mashers recipe with some! As is, this recipe is vegan and Paleo-friendly.
