Side dishes can get boring and repetitive, quickly. And sometimes we get stuck in a rut and just do the same-old macaroni and cheese or baked sweet potatoes. But this cauliflower mash is always a hit with my boys! It is dairy-free and made with a healthy veggie that your kids will barely notice. Any time my kids happily eat vegetables I feel like I have scored some mom points. This works well as a side dish for chicken, as well as any meat like pot roast or short ribs. I’d love to know if you try this version!
Dairy Free Cauliflower Mash
And p.s., if you do eat dairy, try adding some grated sharp white cheddar in at the end!
I told all about how to roast vegetables, including carrots like these, in this post!

Instructions
- Place cauliflower, garlic, and stock in a pot. *(or how much it takes to cover the cauliflower in the pot). Cover the pot and bring to a boil.
- Turn the heat down and boil lightly for 11 minutes, or until the cauliflower can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the liquid from the pot completely. Return the cooked cauliflower to a pot and put the lid back on. Place back on the burner for just a minute or two. This helps get the rest of the liquid out of the cauliflower.
- Place the cooked cauliflower in a blender or food processor. Blend until puréed.
- Add the ghee and almond milk. Blend again until smooth. Season with salt and pepper as needed and blend again.
