- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing and drying the cauliflower. Cut it into large florets and remove the central stem.
Step 2
Using a food processor, pulse the florets in batches until they resemble rice grains. Be careful not to over-process.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, stirring to coat in the garlic-infused oil.
Step 5
Cook the cauliflower rice for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften but still retains a slight crunch.
Step 6
Mix in chopped parsley, basil, and thyme leaves, ensuring even distribution of herbs throughout the rice.
Step 7
Season the cauliflower rice with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 8
Finish with lemon zest for a bright, fresh note.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish or base for your favorite low-carb meal.
