The Best Ever Cauliflower Rice Recipe

At Ajpal, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. My goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

How to Rice Cauliflower

If you can’t grab a bag of riced cauliflower from your grocery store (which does make this recipe much faster and easier, but can add to the cost), you can easily rice cauliflower at home.

To rice cauliflower, rough chop cauliflower florets and stems in a food processor until you have small bits.

Make sure to chop, don’t blend.

Is Cauliflower Rice Low Carb?

This recipe for cauliflower rice is low carb diet compatible and keto diet approved, as we’re using whole, fresh cauliflower that has not been processed.

Eating fresh, healthy, whole foods is a great way to feed your family – regardless of your diet or eating plan.

We designed this recipe to be adaptable to any herbs or spices you’d like to add to the recipe, but please consider the carb count of anything you add if using a pre-mixed spice packet like taco seasoning or ranch dressing powder.

How To Cook Cauliflower Without Smell

Cauliflower, and all cruciferous vegetables, can give off a bitter, funky smell when you cook them – so we’re adding some acid from lemon juice to help combat the funky aroma cauliflower can give off.

Baking in the oven also helps to reduce cauliflower cooking smells by slow-roasting, giving it a nice nutty aroma, instead of a bitter smell.
