  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: additional seasonings or spices of your choice, such as garlic powder or paprika

Instructions

Air Fryer Method

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a bowl, toss the cauliflower rice with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings.

Microwave Method

  • Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with a lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
  • Microwave on high for 4-6 minutes, or until the cauliflower rice is tender, stirring once or twice during cooking.
  • Carefully remove it from the microwave and let it stand for a minute before serving.

Stove Method

  • Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired tenderness.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and any additional spices of your choice.
