Instructions

  1. Remove leaves from cauliflower, reserving the tender leaves for another use. Rinse, dry, and cut into smaller pieces to fit in a food processor.
  2. Prepare a food processor with the grating blade, add the cauliflower into the bowl of the processor. Pulse until the cauliflower is grated and looks like rice or couscous, being careful not to over-pulse.
  3. Place a pan large enough to hold the cauliflower on the stove on medium-high heat.
  4. Add olive oil, and once you see the oil shimmer, add the grated cauliflower and sauté for 1 minute.
  5. Reduce heat to low and cover, cook for 5 minutes.
  6. Remove lid, season with salt and any other seasoning, and serve.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Because it's a vegetable, it doesn't last as long as regular rice would.
  • Freezing Instructions: You can freeze the uncooked shredded cauliflower for up to six months. The cooked cauliflower rice will lose its texture with freezing and defrosting. Defrost and cook or use as desired. 
  • * Please note the nutrition label does not include any toppings.
