With luxurious flavors of Parmesan, black garlic, and black truffle, this cauliflower mash is a creamy, low-carb alternative to mashed potatoes – or simply an equally satisfying companion. The key to creating amazing flavor is in the roasting. The caramelized, golden-brown edges on the cauliflower give this decadent side dish a depth of flavor steaming or boiling just cannot match.
