Looking for diabetic Thanksgiving side dishes? These fake-out mashed potatoes will fool all your family and friends. Not only are they cheesy and delicious, but they're good for you, too!

What You'll Need

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

Place the cauliflower florets in a large pot and add just enough water to cover.
Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and place in a medium bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients and beat with an electric mixer until mixture is well combined.

For a quick-and-easy baked version, add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and 4 beaten eggs to the mixture and place in an 8-inch square baking dish that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F. oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden and set.

How interesting! I've never tried a mashed veggie other than potatoes, so this seems super fun!
