Confused. Do you boil the cauliflower in water? If so, how much? Do you drain it before blending?

Hi Val!
No, no water. The cauliflower is boiled in the melted butter. Roasting it beforehand gives it a lovely nutty flavor. Good luck!

I made this but have some tips. I used a small steam oven so reduced there temperature to 160 degrees and roasted for only 20 minutes. Halfway through I tossed the florets about. They don't cook evenly. They get dark spots. I guess caramelising is not even. I used homemade garlic butter so maybe that was a factor. Don't wait for the florets to be completely caramelised. Use of the word boil is misleading as it can be misinterpreted for steaming. I also added more of the butter to the mash before serving.
Step 4: pour the contents in a utensil and fry it in the butter. Add more if you like.
The taste is awesome.6

This may be my keto friendly side for this Thanksgiving in place of mashed potatoes. (only better!) Also, This looks a lot like hummus. Could you add olive oil, cumin, lemon and tahini and serve it cooled with keto crackers? If I did the math right, 1 tablespoon of tahini has only 1.8 net carbs.

Made this last night. Even a hit with my teens! Used a little less butter and added garlic cloves while roasting. Today, leftovers made an excellent dip for pork rinds!

Made this tonight and it was so delicious from the oven that I didn't even get to the boiling/mashing stage - oops

Some very vague instructions. I wouldn't just say "boil" unless you wanted them actually boiled in water, or how about let them "continue cooking in butter until butter boils"...so many better ways this could be written

This was so, so good. I like it better than the mashed cauliflower with cheese recipes I've tried.

Vague is right. In step 3 it says "Roast... until the cauliflower has turned a nice color." Which color is that? All in all, this does sound tasty, but doesn't anyone curate these recipes?

I've asked the recipe team to review the steps to this recipe. "Nice color" for roasted cauliflower is golden brown.

How big should the florets be cut?
There's a pretty wide range of cut piece size that will work for this dish. Roughly bite size or larger would likely work the best.
