Mashed Cauliflower

In an effort to eat healthier we are eating more vegetables. My family loves mashed potatoes, so I thought I would try making mashed cauliflower.

2 heads cauliflower
1/2 stick of butter
2 tablespoons sour cream
Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and dried parsley (or any other dried herbs you prefer) to taste.

Wash and rinse the cauliflower and cut into small pieces. Place in a pot with a steamer basket at the bottom and enough water to reach the bottom of the basket. If you don't have a steamer basket place the cauliflower in a pot with about an inch of water. Cover and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Heat your oven to 350 degrees.

Place the cauliflower in an oven proof bowl and add the butter, sour cream, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and dried parsley. (You can also add your favorite cheese.) Mash like you would potatoes. Place in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the top has browned. Serve as a side dish with your favorite meal. Enjoy!
