Tips and Techniques

  • Your measurements for the riced cauliflower don’t have to be exact. If the amount that you are using is significantly more or less, you will need to adjust the amount of butter and garlic accordingly.
  • You can easily adapt this recipe. Try adding Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese and sour cream, or your favorite herbs to enhance the flavor even more.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Use within 3-4 days.
