I’m so excited to be sharing this Healthy Shepherd’s Pie recipe with you! I’ve been super sick with a cold these last few days and it was hard to make, film, and edit the video for this recipe in time to publish it today. I did it and it feels really good! It took me a total of 5 days to get this post ready, but now you can finally see how I make one of my favorite dinner recipes.

This is one of the first recipes I posted here on the website when I started the blog back in late 2012 (see post here). I felt this recipe needed a much better explanation on how to make it, and it’s so good, it deserves a full video tutorial so be sure to watch it above!

Shepherd’s Pie is easy to make and most commonly, the top layer you see in the pie is made with mashed potatoes. Yes, it tastes amazing but, there’s a healthier vegetable we can use in place of the potatoes that has almost the identical taste and texture, and with a far superior nutritional value.

Cauliflower interestingly enough, is the vegetable we will be using in place of the potatoes, and to top our pie we are going to transform the cauliflower into an amazingly delicious garlic roasted mashed cauliflower. What’s most interesting though, is that even if you don’t follow a healthy diet chances are you won’t even be able to tell we are not using potatoes in this recipe.

If you crave some kind of comfort food, this meals gives you that satiating feeling without guilt. Cauliflower is low in carbs, and it’s nutritional value far exceeds that of potatoes. It is rich in vitamin B, C, K, as well as manganese, phosphorous, and potassium. It is also rich in phytochemicals which are now being studied for their anti-cancer properties. Cauliflower is also a sulfur-rich vegetable, an essential nutrient necessary for the production of hormones which helps keep our muscles, digestive, cardiovascular, and nervous systems healthy.

As you can see, there are numerous health benefits to cauliflower, but we also want our food to taste good, and this meal does. I think you will love it, and it may become a favorite in your home like it is in mine. Be sure to watch the video above to see my method of making this pie, and when you’re ready to make it, read the recipe card below for all of the measurements and step by step instructions.

This Healthy Shepherd’s Pie recipe is easy to make and takes me no longer than 30 minutes. Hope you try it, and please comment below letting me know how it goes. I also want to know what kind of dinner recipes you want me to teach you how to make, so let’s chat in the comment section below.
