Oven-Roasted Cauliflower Rice

With a little one keeping me busy I need to keep things as simple as possible. There are so many recipes out there for cauliflower rice! I find this one quick and tasty, it could be used as a good base for other flavours; but just on it's own it is the perfect substitute for rice.

INGREDIENTS
Serves 2
  • Olive oil spray (or you can use Coconut Oil spray - found it today, makes it so much easier!)
  • 1 x head of caulifower
  • Salt

METHOD
  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius
  2. Line a baking tray with foil. Spray a thin layer of olive oil on the foiled surface.
  3. Whizz handfuls of cauliflower in a food processor (I only have a small one but do it in a few gos, it's no problem)
  4. Spread cauliflower on tray, sprinkle with salt and spray with more olive oil
  5. Bake for 10min, then stir and rearrange on tray. Bake for another 10 minutes,or until mix is slightly 'toasted.')
  6. Serve as a side with curry or similar.
TIPS
- The cauliflower mix shrinks alot when baked. It may seem like a lot of mix when you are whizzing it in the food processor, but the mix will easily shrink to a third of its size once roasted.
- Watch you don't burn it too much, I baked my first lot for 30min and even though it looked lovely on the tray by the time I mixed it up it was probably a little too toasty.
