Lemon Garlic Cauliflower Rice Recipe - Crunchy Creamy Sweet (2024)

ThisLemon Garlic Cauliflower Rice is made with just 4 ingredients! A perfect low-carb side dishthat's bursting with flavor.

This is a great healthy option, just like my Mashed Caulifloweror the Cauliflower Fried Rice. You can use my homemade Cauliflower Rice or store-bought frozen rice.

One of my favorite dishes to make with cauliflower is to turn it into rice. Now, you can easily buy it frozen in stores. Either way, it's a great low-carb grain-free option instead of rice. It cooks faster, it's delicious and you can easily add flavor to it, depending on the dish you are making. I used lemon zest and garlic and it's bursting with flavors! You can serve it with any dish that calls for rice, add grilled vegetables or seafood for a light and healthy meal or use for meal prep.

Ingredients:

• medium cauliflower head or ready-madecauliflower rice
• lemon
