  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh garlic
  • 1/2 cup (1.2 oz) finely shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  • Cut cauliflower from the core, discard core, cut remaining into florets.
  • Pulse half of the florets at a time in a food processor until they are between the size of rice grains.

  • Add garlic and saute 20 seconds.
  • Add in cauliflower, toss with garlic and spread into an even layer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
