Cauliflower rice is a great low-calorie dish to have in your arsenal especially if you are eating low-carb. Super low in carbs, yet such a satisfying dish you will forget it's made from a vegetable and not a grain. There are two reasons I opted for roasted riced cauliflower in place of sauteed: 1) more flavor and 2) better texture.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 2 heads cauliflower , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1.5 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 0.75 teaspoons salt , divided

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line 3 baking sheets with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Fill a food processor 1/4 of the way with cauliflower pieces. Pulse 8 to 12 times until cauliflower is the size of rice grains. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining cauliflower pieces.

  3. 3

    Drizzle avocado oil over cauliflower "rice"; toss until well-distributed.

  4. 4

    Spread 2 1/2 cups of the rice in an even layer on each lined baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Roast rice until golden, about 16 minutes. Remove from oven, stir well, and spread out again. Return to oven and roast for 6 minutes. Remove from oven, stir well, and spread out again. Continue roasting until browned, about 5 minutes more.

  6. 6

    Season each sheet of roasted rice with 1/4 teaspoon salt and place in a large container.
