  • Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower into fine rice-sized granules, about 10-15 pulses. Pick out any larger pieces if there are any left behind. It's best to work in batches of 1-2 inch florets of cauliflower for evenly sized rice.

  • Wash and peel carrots. Dice into small cubes. Add olive oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the carrots and begin to fry them.

Notes

  • When pulsing your cauliflower, try to work in batches keeping the cauliflower more or less the same size.
  • Let your cauliflower dry thoroughly after washing it before cooking.
  • If you don't have a food processor, use a large hole cheese grater or sharp knife to finely chop your cauliflower.
  • About 3 minutes or so over medium heat with just a bit of oil is enough to cook your riced cauliflower. Do not cook it for too long or with too much oil, or you risk it will become soggy.
