I think sweet and sour meatballs is the perfect entree paired with rice as a side dish. So, as I was making the meatballs and the sauce, I riced some cauliflower in my Breville All In One food processor to make my recipe for Cauliflower Rice, but I realized, all of my elements were in use, so stove top cauliflower rice wasn’t an option. Then the best idea I’ve had in a while hit me – oven baked cauliflower rice!

So, I lined a baking sheet, spread the cauliflower rice evenly across the baking sheet, seasoned it, and baked it until tender and slightly golden! When I pulled it out from the oven, I had the most nuttiest, rice-like cauliflower rice ever and I knew this recipe was a game changer. I don’t know if I will ever make stop top cauliflower rice ever again!
