Ingredients
1Head of Cauliflower or 1 bag of Frozen Cauliflower rice
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Additional Seasonings desired
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350 F.
2. If making from scratch- remove the stem and leaves from your head of cauliflower and dice into large chunks. Pulse until riced in a food processor.
If making with frozen- break up any frozen chunks in the bag with your hands (or by throwing the bag on the floor a few times... I actually do this)
3. Place your freshly riced or frozen rice onto a baking sheet and spread it thin. Drizzle with olive oil and your desired seasonings. My go-to's for regular rice is always salt, pepper, and usually some garlic powder.
4. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the rice has roasted and the moisture appears to have absorbed. Serve as is for a rice substitute or use for stir fry's, casseroles, or in cauliflower mash.
Notes
Making fresh cauliflower rice without a food processor? Use a box grater instead!
