Ingredients

    *1 head cauliflower, washed and cut into florets (stems removed)

    *2-3 tablespoons olive oil

    *salt and pepper, to taste

    *1 teaspoon paprika

    *1/3 cup Parmesan

    *1/3 cup cream or half and half

    *2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed

Directions

1.) Preheat oven to 350F. Wash and chop cauliflower into small florets and transfer to a covered baking sheet that’s been coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with olive oil and top with salt, pepper, and paprika.

2.) Roast florets for 30-35 minutes or until tender and sensitive to the pressing of a fork (as if the vegetable will give easily for mashing). Remove from oven and transfer to a standing mixer like a Kitchenaid.

3.) Attach the whisk attachment (not the paddle) and add Parmesan, cream, and garlic to the bowl. Whip on medium-high until mixture combines and taste. Season with salt and pepper as necessary and serve.
