instant pot cauliflower mashTell me this naturally purple Instant Pot cauliflower mash isn’t totally cool! I will tell you that if your kids aren’t really fans of vegetables, I bet they will try these!! Not only are they a totally fun vegetable side dish but they are really tasty too. Rich, creamy, cheesy, with a smile on everyone’s face who tries them….they’re a must do sometime during the week. You could make them orange, green or yellow too depending on what color cauliflower you find at the store. I used purple because I have 3 girls and well I thought that it would be “totally cool”! Special thanks goes out to Kitchen Deluxe for sponsoring this post so we could share one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes with you. (originally published 8/17)

  3. Cauliflower (color of your choice)

This vegetable steamer is great for just about any veggie you want to make. Just pour about 2 cups of water into the bottom of your Instant pot, open it up as you see, place it inside, and it holds a bunch so they steam to perfection! In the box it includes a safety tool too that makes lifting the steamer out of your pot easier and safer avoiding the heat on your fingers!

If you don’t have any of these you can find them on my list of favorite Instant Pot accessories. They aren’t expensive and I use them every week, totally worth it.

Once your cauliflower is nicely steamed and super soft you just pour it into a bowl, add your goodies, mix on low/medium to smooth it out, and serve!

Surprise them one night with this as a side item, I guarantee you’ll get a big “What??!! Cool!”….and they will try it!

Here’s a video showing you how to make it.

There you have it…in just about 15 minutes total you can have yourself a fun vegetable Instant Pot dish that is fun and flavorful! You can grab your own helpful Instant Pot vegetable steamer here and get started!
