Roasted Cauliflower Rice Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Vegetable Side Dish Recipes. (Roasted Cauliflower Rice Recipe). Cauliflower rice is a great low-calorie dish to have in your arsenal especially if you are eating low-carb. Super low in carbs, yet such a satisfying dish you will forget it's made from a vegetable and not a grain. There are two reasons I opted for roasted riced cauliflower in place of sauteed: 1) more flavor and 2) better texture.
