Recipe Tips

To save time, you can use pre-cut cauliflower rice that's available at most grocery stores. You can also make your own by pulsing cauliflower florets in a food processor until they're rice-sized. This dish is great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. It also freezes well, so you can make a big batch and freeze leftovers for a quick and easy meal later on.
