Lots of garlic, butter, and Parmesan cheese make this cauliflower rice creamy and flavorful. It’s a low carb version of a delicious risotto. Rice your cauliflower in the food processor or with a box grater or buy frozen cauliflower rice. I used frozen in this recipe.

Recipe Variations

  • Instead of parsley, add chopped sautéed spinach.
  • Add additional herbs, such as thyme leaves, chopped chives, or basil. Or add Italian seasoning blend, to taste.
  • Add chopped cooked broccoli, asparagus, or sliced sugar snap peas.
