Cauliflower rice is all the rage these days as it's the healthier alternative without all of the carbs that regular rice offers. Luckily, a cauliflower is super easy to break down and turn into rice. A food processor is the quickest way, but if you don't have one a box grater works just as well!
Two methods, one fantastic result.
You can use either a food processor or a box grater to make cauliflower rice. Both are great options, one just takes a little less effort on your part. First, cut your cauliflower into large florets. Place however many florets your food processor can hold and pulse until all of the cauliflower is small crumbs and looks like rice. Or, use the medium holes of a box grater to shred your cauliflower into rice.
How do I cook cauliflower rice?
The best part about cauliflower rice is that it's even easier to cook than rice. For the simplest way just heat a pan with some oil and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. You can also place it in a heatproof bowl and microwave it for a few minutes to steam your rice.
How do I serve it?
Anyway you like! Use your cauliflower rice wherever you would normally use rice. We love it as fried rice, cheesy Mexican rice, and especially cheesy cauliflower bread!
