If you have ever made Cauliflower rice, chances are you’ve ended up with some of it scattered all over your floor, counter tops and every crevice in sight. It has a habit of getting EVERYWHERE. Well not if you make it how I give details to below. I was determined to find a way to keep it from spreading across my whole Kitchen and this works pretty well. It also tastes amazing like this, I was never one for microwaving the stuff, as it leave a not so pleasant stench through the room.

- 1 medium head of cauliflower
- salt and black pepper
- Spray oil
- Preheat oven to 180c or 350f (gas mark 4)
- Line a large oven proof tray with some parchment paper.
- Place the cauliflower on the tray and break up into smaller florets, the idea, is any small pieces that fall off when doing this, will remain on the tray.
- Place a few florets at a time, in a blender or food processor and pulse the blade a couple of times, until it resembles grains of rice, dump that onto the tray, before continuing with the next batch, until all cauliflower is riced.
- Spread out over the tray in a thin even layer and season well with salt and black pepper.
- Spray over the top with some oil, place in oven and bake for approx 30 mins, it will just start to of browned on the edges and have a lovely roasted flavour.

How long will this last in the fridge? I'm trying to make enough for four nights worth, and not sure it will hold up until the last night. Thank you!
It should be okay for 4 nights max, I'd say. You can always freeze it cooked too, it takes very little time to heat up, you can just add to a pan or place in a hot oven till heated through.
LovIng your recipes! I’m vegan and of that age where the weight does not seem to want come off! It’s great to have something I can stick to and enjoy while losing weight. Thank you x
Best cauliflower rice I’ve ever had!
so glad you think so, thank you
If frozen do you need to defrost before heating or can you reheat directly from frozen?
Thanks
you can cook straight from frozen 🙂
