This Roasted Cauliflower Rice is by far the easiest, and best tasting cauliflower rice out there. My kids even eat this cauliflower rice and love it! You’ve got to try this!
I have been making cauliflower rice for a long time. I’ve tried it every way possible. I’ve used a cheese grater, food processor, and even a good old chopping knife. Needless to say, I always wasted a lot of time and made a huge mess. If you aren’t a fan of messes and you own a decent blender, you’re in for a treat! This is great with stir fry, stuffed peppers, Mexican bowls, or even simply as a side dish! This is also a great way to sneak veggies into your kids food without them even knowing it! Score!

This is my go-to method now! After trying all the (sometimes silly) ways to make cauli rice, this is by far the easiest.
I also make a double batch and freeze the extra in airtight freezer bags. Makes it crazy easy to whip up a meal on a Tuesday at 8pm.
Man I wish you would have specified about the blender situation… I have a blendtec, pulsed it 3 times and turned my cauliflower into mushed instead of rice?? I am vegan so using butter and making mashed cauliflower won’t work for me?
Oh no! I’ve never attempted this with a super high powered blender. Did you have the water in there?
Oh forgot to add that it’s good with coconut oil too.
Good to know! Thank you!
