Ingredients
Mash:
- 2 heads cauliflower, cut into florets (about 6-7 cups of florets)
- 1 large clove garlic, grated
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- vegetable broth, optional
- 1 tablespoon I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® It’s Organic!
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- freshly ground black pepper
Topping:
- ¼ cup chickpeas, drained, rinsed and dried
- 4 brussels sprouts
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Directions
- In a large pot add cauliflower florets, grated garlic and kosher salt. Add just enough vegetable broth or water – about ½ to 1 inch from the bottom of the pot. This will help steam the cauliflower. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and put on a tight-fitting lid. Simmer just until the cauliflower is fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss ingredients for topping on a baking sheet and spray generously with nonstick olive oil cooking spray. Roast at 450° for 15 minutes, until Brussels sprouts and chickpeas are crispy and crunchy. Remove and let rest.
- Drain cauliflower and add it to a food processor along with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® It’s Organic!, Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Process until smooth and creamy.
- Scoop mashed cauliflower into a bowl, top with roasted Brussels sprouts, chickpeas, extra sprinkles of Parmesan cheese and added black pepper if desired. Serve hot!
Serves 8.
