Roasted Cauliflower

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.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

cooking spray
2 heads cauliflower, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 ½ tablespoons avocado oil
¾ teaspoon salt, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line 3 baking sheets with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • 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.
  • Drizzle avocado oil over cauliflower "rice"; toss until well-distributed.
  • Spread 2 1/2 cups of the rice in an even layer on each lined baking sheet.
  • 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.
  • Season each sheet of roasted rice with 1/4 teaspoon salt and place in a large container.
