Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets.

Step 2

Place the florets in a food processor. Pulse the cauliflower in short bursts until it resembles rice. Be careful not to over-process, as it can become mushy.

Step 3

If you don't have a food processor, use a box grater to grate the cauliflower into rice-like pieces.

Step 4

Finely chop the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the garlic and oil.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender.

Step 9

Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Step 10

Remove from heat and taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.

Step 11

Serve the cauliflower rice warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
