"Cheesy" Cauliflower Rice | Paleo
Servings: 4
Calories: 216kcal
Ingredients
- 12 oz riced cauliflower
- 3 tbsp grass-fed butter or ghee
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
Optional Mix-ins: Chopped bacon, baby spinach, green onion, minced garlic, shredded chicken, sliced jalapeños, diced green chiles, chopped ham, etc!
Instructions
- Steam the cauliflower rice*. I cook mine in the microwave, in a microwave-safe bowl covered with a paper towel. Simply heat for about 4 minutes until softened and heated through.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter or ghee. Stir in the almond flour until it thickens to a paste texture. Slowly whisk in the coconut milk. Add the seasonings and nutritional yeast, and stir until combined and slightly thickened.
- Transfer the steamed cauliflower to the pot of cheese sauce and stir until combined. Add whatever mix-ins you like, and transfer to a serving dish. Serve hot!
Notes
If you're not a fan of using the microwave, you can easily steam your cauliflower rice over the stovetop. Just place the riced cauliflower in a medium saucepan with 2 tbsp of water. Cover with a lid, and cook on medium. Stir occasionally, until the cauliflower is softened and heated through.
