Air Fryer Cauliflower Rice

Air Fryer Cauliflower Rice —If you have never heard of cauliflower rice, you are not alone. With the popularity of both the KETO and Low-Carb Friendly Diets, cauliflower rice was invented. Today, I am going to share with you How to Make Cauliflower Rice in minutes.

Air Fryer Cauliflower Rice

If you have Whole Foods near you, you can either purchase a whole head of cauliflower, a bag of cauliflower florets, or a container of pre-shredded cauliflower that resembles rice.

However you purchase it, you will either have to grate it or not. That is really the only difference. You will use the same recipe for either form.

If you are looking for even more vegetable recipes, here are some of my favorites, AIR FRYER ZUCCHINI BACON CHEDDAR SCONES, AIR FRYER CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS, AIR FRYER BROCCOLI, AND CHEESE CASSEROLE or AIR FRYER STUFFED MUSHROOMS.

How to Make Cauliflower Rice

The real secret to making cauliflower rice is to use a box grater and grate your cauliflower. So, wash and dry your cauliflower, remove all of the leaves, then grate. If you have a food processor, feel free to pulse it until it’s riced.

Once you have made your cauliflower rice, all you need to do is add olive oil to a medium-sized skillet. Over medium heat, head up the olive oil. Then add your rice, and saute. The perfect texture for cauliflower rice is crispy but yet tender. So, that will take about 4 to 6 minutes. Continue to stir as the rice cooks. Remove from heat, and season with salt and black pepper.

How long does cauliflower rice last?

If you want to grate the rice ahead of time, you can do that a couple of days ahead of time. Otherwise, you will find that it gets wilted and watery. So, it’s best prepped a day or two ahead of time.

If you want to cook the cauliflower rice ahead of time, it will last for about 3 to 5 days if you put it into an airtight container after cooking it.

Can you freeze riced cauliflower?

Yes, if you have ever noticed frozen cauliflower rice available in your freezer section, it makes for a great and easy recipe to make ahead and freeze.

To do that, let it cool to room temperature, then place the cooked cauliflower rice into a freezer-safe airtight container. It will last for about a month.
