What if I told you that making Cauliflower Rice from scratch was just as easy and twice as tasty? It’s also cheaper, and when the cauliflower goes on sale, I buy extra and freeze what’s left over.

All you need to make this easy and versatile dish is a fresh head of cauliflower (or a bag of cauliflower florets), a cheese grater or food processor, and some flavor.

For this recipe, I used a garlic and herb butter that I was making for my Flavored Butters eBook, which you can find right here. But you can add in your own flavors, or just leave it plain with a dollop of butter on top.

Grate the cauliflower, a few minutes in a hot pan, some flavor, and bam! That’s it! You’re all done. Cauliflower Rice minus all the garbage that comes in frozen jazzed-up versions.

That’s it! Get cookin’ today!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Rinse the cauliflower and then break it into large florets. Using a cheese grater, grate the cauliflower starting at the florets and working down toward the stem. Discard the stems. Or, put the florets into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Remove any remaining large pieces.
  • In a medium size skillet, add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil. Add the cauliflower rice and cook over medium heat stirring frequently for 4-5 minutes or until tender crisp.
  • Add your favorite flavors, like garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, soy sauce, or follow my recipe for garlic-herb butter. Serve and enjoy!
