Whipped Parmesan Cauliflower

Prep Time: 30 minutes (about 10 minutes hands-on)

Meal Notes: This lighter alternative to mashed potatoes is delicious, healthy, and easy. The cheesy, buttery vegetable puree goes nicely with almost any protein, but I especially recommend trying it with agrodulce pork chops, chicken with herb roasted tomatoes, or pan broiled steak.
