Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 cups frozen riced cauliflower or 1 head of fresh cauliflower
- 1-2 tablespoons lime, juice of Start with one tablespoon of lime and taste repeatedly. Add additional lime as necessary. I like for mine to have a lot of lime flavor and I used half a lime.
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
How to Make Your Own Riced Cauliflower
- Chop the fresh cauliflower into florets.
- You can create rice by grating it with a cheese grater or by placing it in a food processor until the texture resembles rice (do not over-pulse)
Prepare Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice
- Add the olive oil to a skillet on medium-high heat.
- Stir in the riced cauliflower, lime, seasonings, and cilantro.
- Cook for 5-6 minutes until the cauliflower is crisp.
Notes
For tender rice cover the skillet and allow the rice to cook for 5 minutes.
The cook time does not differ much in using frozen vs fresh cauliflower. Use your judgment to assess when the cauliflower has become tender.
