When I first saw this recipe I knew it would be fun, and yummy! I did change it up by roasting the riced cauliflower first.
This is not a quick recipe, but if you spread out the steps, it won’t feel too overwhelming. Generally i cook and drain the cauliflower earlier in the day.
I love this recipe because it holds together nicely, works well in soup, tastes great cold or can be re-headed in the air fryer. Can be fun to mix up the salt – this time I used whiskey barrel smoked salt!
