Equipment
- Food processor
- Baking Sheet large
Ingredients
- 1 large Cauliflower
- 1 small Broccoli
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- Salt + Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add cauliflower and broccoli florets to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles rice. Do not overprocess or it will become mushy.
- Transfer the riced vegetables to the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Spread the mixture in an even layer. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven and stir.
- Return to oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until tender and lightly golden. The texture should be fluffy, not wet.
- Serve immediately for best texture.
Notes
- Do not overprocess the vegetables or they will release too much moisture
- Spreading in a thin layer helps them roast instead of steam
- If the mixture looks wet, bake a few extra minutes to dry it out
- This recipe is soft and fluffy, not crispy like roasted vegetables
- You can use store-bought riced cauliflower as a shortcut
