Freshly riced cauliflower gets its moisture pressed out before hitting a hot skillet, so it turns tender with lightly golden, crisped edges instead of going mushy or soggy. Minced garlic blooms in olive oil for a fragrant base, and a finishing scatter of fresh parsley keeps the whole thing bright and clean-tasting. It's a fast, whole-foods side that comes together in one pan with just a handful of real ingredients — no grains, no fillers, nothing to overthink. This one's a natural fit for a Whole30 plate, whether you're pairing it with a protein and vegetables or using it as a base for a stir-fry style bowl. Simple technique, big payoff: distinct rice-like grains with real texture, not a mushy purée.

Working in two batches, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until broken down into pieces roughly the size of rice grains, about 8–10 short pulses. Alternatively, grate the florets on the large holes of a box grater. Avoid over-processing — the pieces should be distinct, not a paste.
Spread the riced cauliflower on a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels and press firmly to absorb excess moisture.
