Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Working in batches if needed, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until broken down into rice-sized pieces, about 8–10 pulses. Spread the cauliflower rice in an even layer on a large baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, and season with 1/2 tsp salt. Roast for 18–22 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the edges are golden and the moisture has evaporated.
2
While the cauliflower roasts, toss the diced zucchini and red bell pepper on a second large baking sheet with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt. Spread in a single layer and roast alongside the cauliflower for 18–20 minutes, until the edges are lightly charred and the vegetables are tender.
