Description
Keto Yuca Mash (Cauliflower Style) is a creamy and delicious low-carb alternative to traditional mashed potatoes, perfect for those following a keto diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups yuca (cassava), peeled and cut into chunks
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the yuca chunks in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the yuca is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the yuca and let it cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, remove the fibrous core from the center of each piece.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked yuca, butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Use a potato masher or fork to mash the yuca until smooth and creamy. For an even smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a creamier mash, add more heavy cream or butter to taste.
- You can also mix in shredded cheese for added flavor.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some sautéed jalapeños.
