Cauliflower and Green Onion Mash

Similar to mashed potatoes, this side dish features a slightly coarser texture and yet a more delicate taste. Roasting on high heat deepens the cauliflower flavor.

Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 3/4 cup)

Ingredients

• 1  teaspoon  olive oil
• 3  pounds  fresh cauliflower, cut into florets (about 8 1/2 cups)
• 3  garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1  cup  chopped green onions
• 1  cup  1% low-fat milk
• 2  tablespoons  butter
• 3/4  teaspoon  ground black pepper
• 1/2  teaspoon  salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 500°.

Toss oil, cauliflower, and garlic on a jelly-roll pan. Bake at 500° for 20 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Place cauliflower mixture in a large bowl. Add onions and remaining ingredients to cauliflower mixture; mash with a potato masher.
