homemade cauliflower rice
Super easy homemade cauliflower rice – a great grain-free alternative to traditional rice or quinoa.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 2-3 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 2–3 tablespoons of coconut aminos
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of himalayan salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp of onion powder and garlic powder (optional for flavor)
You can keep the cauliflower rice as simple as you’d like – or you can get creative and try different flavor combinations!
Instructions
- Cut cauliflower head into florets and shred using food processor with shredder blade*.
- Heat a non stick pan over medium heat with a tiny bit of oil or vegetable broth. Add shredded cauliflower and the rest of the ingredients. Mix to combine. Cook until cauliflower is soft and tender (usually takes 15 minutes).
- Serve with your favorite meal.
Notes
- For meal prepping: You can shred cauliflower ahead of time and store in an airtight container and store in fridge (or freezer if not using within the next 2-3 days).
- This is my go-to cauliflower rice flavor combination but feel free to experiment with your favorite spices and herbs.
- If you do not have a shredder blade – you can use the regular food processor ‘s’ blades but make sure not to over-process the cauliflower and accidentally turn it into a soft mush!
