• 2 large Garlic clove
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Start by removing the leaves and the core from the cauliflower head. Cut the cauliflower into smaller florets.

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, sautéing until they are fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet and stir to combine with the garlic and oil.

Step 6

Cook the cauliflower rice, stirring frequently, for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the rice is tender but not mushy.

Step 7

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice.

Step 9

Serve the cauliflower rice as a side dish or use it as a base for meals.
