Why frozen cauliflower rice?

We chose to use frozen cauliflower rice because it’s just so simple and you can find it buy 1 get 1 often!

With that said, you can always use a fresh head of cauliflower. You can either put a large head of cauliflower in a food processor and pulse it until it looks like rice or use a grater to make rice.

If you don’t use the bagged option just make sure you have 4 cups of cauliflower rice to use.
