Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the chopped cauliflower and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until fork tender.
Meanwhile, add the garlic and olive oil to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is softened and fragrant but not browning; about 5 minutes.
Drain the cooked cauliflower well and add it to a food processor along with the garlic and oil. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve hot with vegan gravy.

CORTNEY on 2023-04-01 (5 stars): Great suggestion! I wanted a dairy free cauliflower mash, which is difficult to find. After making this recipe, I felt like it needed some depth, so I chopped one slice of bacon and added with the grease. We all loved it.

Brian Lee Nelson on 2021-02-23 (5 stars): So this is not vegan, and I am not putting this on here to question anyone. Perhaps for non-vegan household members to help them eat this instead of mashed potatoes. I am on a very strict very low-carb diet so I was happy to find the initial recipe that did not use milk or cream. To enhance it on a whim, I cooked 2 strips of thin - no sugar - uncured bacon first and then I crumbled up the bacon and put it in with the garlic and poured the bacon grease in with the oil (not much grease). Then poured it in while mixing as directed.
This was fabulous - it is one of the best things I have cooked since going on the diet.
Christina on 2020-04-21 (5 stars): OK...I was skeptical because seriously three simple ingredients? Honestly, it was perfect. I did add some Vegan butter because I love buttery everything and it was delish. So easy and very tasty. I will make this pretty regularly to serve on the side with veggies. Thanks for a great recipe!
Mark on 2020-04-20 (5 stars): I really like this recipe, make sure to use fresh cauliflower for the best flavor in it, and be sure to cook the garlic enough so that there is not raw garlic flavor.
Beth on 2019-12-10 (5 stars): Hi Shannon, I made these along with your gravy as something lighter to go with my extremely decadent Tofurky roast and they were a big hit! Thanks for coming up with a recipe that's so simple and NOT watery (my issue with other mashed cauliflower recipes).
