Many are put off using cauliflower as it can be rather pungent when raw or even with cooking. But me perfect method for cooking cauliflower rice will totally change your mind. There are many methods out there for making cauliflower rice from steaming to microwave. But the real game changer for me when it came to cauliflower rice, is to cook it by roasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most grocery stores will now even sell bags or ready grated cauliflower that you can grab and throw in your shopping cart. But sometimes they tend to be super expensive just for the convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever I spot cauliflower on sale at my grocery store I will grab at least 3. As I can easily make up a few batches of cauliflower rice and freeze it in handy portions, that I can then grab and use in dishes like this Egg Fried Cauliflower Rice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I've also worked out a method for prepping the cauliflower into rice, that means minimal mess and we all like less mess to clean up afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will never forget the first time I attempted cauliflower rice, it was everywhere, the floor, the kitchen units, some stuck to my slippers - in fact, every surface that the cauliflower rice could fall to, it fell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and then I cooked it in the microwave which seems to be one of the popular choices for cauliflower rice. OMG, never again will I cook cauliflower rice in the microwave. As if the mess I had just created wasn't enough, I now had the most awful sulfur stench throughout my kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It put me off attempting cauliflower rice again for a while. Until I finally succumbed, but the next time made sure that cauliflower never went anywhere near a microwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My failproof method for a limited mess is to make sure you prep the cauliflower on an extra large baking sheet lined with parchment. I place the baking sheet right next to my Ninja Food Processor and work in batches. You can break into florets on the tray first, add some to the food processor, pulse a few times till it resembles grains of rice and dump on a clear section of the tray, before adding some more and repeating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then all you have to do is spread the cauliflower rice out on the tray in an even layer, season, spray over the top with cooking oil spray and roast in the oven - simple!! No mess all over the floor, or the kitchen units. Once it's all cooked it's ready to be turned into this delicious Egg Fried Cauliflower Rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
