The only problem with this cauliflower side dish for mom is that the kids will want to take some too.
Do you want that quick, low-carb side dish for mom without having extra work? Just throw this cauliflower in a 9×13 and you’re done. You won’t need to babysit it and it can cook at the same time that you’re cooking your other dishes. And, happens to be….it’s really good!
- 1 (24 ounce) bag frozen cauliflower
- salt and black pepper, for sprinkling
- A little olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Throw all ingredients into a 9x13 inch pan. Cover and bake for 1 ½ hours or until super soft.
- Mash with a fork and enjoy.

I’m excited to make this! Keep easy healthy recipes coming!
Is there a reason there is wax paper lining the pan?
I like to line my disposable pans with parchment paper to keep the food from eating away at the foil. This is particularly the case with salt and spices, anything acidic, certain fruits and vegetables (i.e. apples, tomatoes, eggplant), etc.
If I’m using “real” pans, it helps with the cleanup.
Why mash it?
This recipe has been one of my go-tos since I discovered it over a year ago. Thank you so so much Malkie!! Tonight I dressed it up with the addition of sautéed pastrami and it came out delicious!
Do you think I can make this and freeze for YT? Or will it not reheat nicely?
Did you end up freezing this? Can you let me know how it defrosted?
