Easy, crunchy, incredibly flavorful Garlic Butter Cauliflower Rice is simple, healthy, and so surprisingly GOOD!
Cauliflower rice is cooked in margarine with garlic and spinach for a solid, delightful and simple side dish. This is an ideal side dish for chicken or fish, and it’s done in around 15 minutes.I don’t actually have a clue what more to say about this than that I am insane in affection with cauliflower rice. I truly AM! It’s SO acceptable. Better than rice, and better than non-riced cauliflower… does that even bode well? It does to me.
This Garlic Butter Cauliflower Rice with Spinach is a simple low carb, keto, gluten free, paleo, veggie lover, and in particular, SUPER DELICIOUS formula that will have even the pickiest eater licking up her plate.I have a 9 year old that essentially loathes food – indeed, food that isn’t chocolate and oat – however she ate up this cauliflower rice, stone age man style.
