Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the garlic.
Step 7
Season the cauliflower rice with salt and black pepper.
Step 8
Sauté the cauliflower rice for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The rice should be tender but not mushy.
