When you take that first bite it tastes just as delicious as mashed potatoes, but comes from a non-starchy vegetable. Plus, you aren’t going to be using loads of butter and while my recipe calls for sour cream, you don’t have to use it. It’ll taste just as creamy without it! Think about all of those calories you’re saving, without feeling like you’re chewing on cardboard.
Finding healthy meals doesn’t need to be hard, but my motto is that it does need to be interesting! Test your taste buds, do something out of the ordinary, mix together flavors you’ve never tried, and when you do that I can promise you your flavor palette will thank you!
Cook’s note: The purée can be prepared to this point up to 1 day ahead. Transfer the purée to a bowl, let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
When ready to serve, place the purée in a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat until very warm, stirring frequently. Add the crème fraîche and stir until well incorporated. Transfer the purée to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
