Paprika Cauliflower Rice


Ever since I saw this post on Delighted Momma's blog, I have been obsessed with "cauliflower rice". It is hands down the easiest recipe I've ever posted, so even if the only thing you know how to make is a bowl of cereal, you can handle this with no problem at all!

You can either buy a head of cauliflower, or if you want to make it even easier just buy the pre-cut cauliflower florets like I did.


Put a few pieces of the cauliflower into your food processor or blender and blend until it is the consistency of rice. I did a few pieces at a time because it seemed to get clogged if I added too much at once.






                         
  Scrape it out into a microwaveable safe bowl.



Microwave for 5 and a half minutes. No water added. You'll see how much moisture the cauliflower creates on it's own.
That's it!! You will have perfectly cooked cauliflower rice. I added in some smoked paprika, along with some roasted zucchini, tomatoes, and carrots.


I roasted the vegetables in the oven at 375 for 30 minutes.



It's like a healthy version of veggie fried rice. Same awesome flavor without the frying part, and it's grain free!

Last night I enjoyed mine with baked cod...


...but I've also made it with shrimp and it was the bomb!


If you don't have paprika, my mom really enjoys hers with just a little bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Try it out and let me know what you think!
