- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into quarters and remove the core.

Step 5
Spread the cauliflower rice evenly over the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even cooking.

Step 8
Transfer the baked cauliflower rice to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
