The holidays are coming up and my brain is already trying to recreate all of our favorite foods. The foods that we don’t think that we can live without, like mashed potatoes. I set out to create the creamiest, most delicious Brown Butter Mashed Cauliflower topped with crispy fried sage leaves.

Mission accomplished! They are full of flavor, creamy and don’t taste anything like cauliflower. If you do not tell your friends and family, I bet they won’t even figure it out!

How to make Brown Butter Mashed Cauliflower:

Crispy Fried Sage

Add 1/2-inch of olive oil to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Add the sage leaves to the hot oil and fry for 10 to 20 seconds or until crispy,flipping over once.

Brown Butter

Add half of the butter-cream mixture and blend more. Add the remaining butter-cream mixture and blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

To Serve

Drizzle the reserved brown butter over the top. Sprinkle with the fried sage and serve.

How long will Mashed Cauliflower last?

If stored properly, mashed cauliflower should last for 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, store in the freezer.

Can I boil cauliflower instead of steaming it?

Add cauliflower to a pot of boiling water with enough water to submerge it. Cook the whole head of cauliflower for 15 minutes or florets for 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to over cook.

What to eat with Mashed Cauliflower?

  • Greek Pork Chops
  • Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs
  • Meatloaf Muffins
  • Instant Pot Keto Ribs
  • Instant Pot Faux-tisserie Chicken
