Smashed Cauliflower
Smashed Cauliflower delivers rich cheese flavor with a light, velvety texture that recalls mashed potatoes without the heft. Vermont white Cheddar and Parmesan melt into tender cauliflower for a buttery, savory bite balanced with a hint of pepper. Ideal as a cozy dinner side or a lighter swap for classic mash at holidays.
