Preheat Your Oven To 400
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C.)
Prepare the garlic
Cut off the very top of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Place it on a small piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the cloves are very soft and golden brown. Once cooled slightly, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.
Cook the cauliflower
While the garlic roasts, steam the cauliflower florets until very tender. This typically takes 10-15 minutes in a steamer basket over simmering water, or you can boil them until tender. Drain thoroughly.
Mash the cauliflower
Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a large bowl. Add the roasted garlic cloves, butter, heavy cream (or milk), remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Mash until smooth
Using a potato masher, immersion blender, or food processor, mash the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For an extra smooth mash, use an immersion blender or food processor.
Season and serve
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If desired, stir in the fresh chives or parsley before serving. Serve hot as a delicious and garlicky side dish.
Garnish With Extra Fresh Chives Or Parsley
Garnish with extra fresh chives or parsley if desired.
