An easy, quick, and healthy side dish recipe for super creamy Gluten-Free Spicy Mashed Cauliflower with Pickled Jalapenos.
Well it's back to school today. I know, I know... you must feel soooooo bad for me. Having a week (plus 1 day) off sure is a fantastic perk of teaching 🙂
It's been a productive spring vacation. We did some packing. We may have found our new home (don't want to jinx it, but it's looking good!). We had a top-notch, high quality moving sale. And Tyler and I started working on a site redesign. Woot.

Spicy Pickled Jalapeno Mashed Cauliflower
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 4-6 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 2 heads cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, seasoned generously with Kosher salt. Chop cauliflower into florets. Cook in boiling water for about 6-7 minutes, or until very well done (you want it to be completely soft and easily pierced with a knife so it will puree smoothly). Drain well.
- In a bowl with an immersion blender, or in a food processor, puree the hot cauliflower with butter and garlic powder until very smooth. Stir in pickled jalapenos. Serve immediately.
