4 servings

- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Ingredient noteDried smoked paprika can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about 1/4 teaspoon per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid smoked paprika, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions
- 1
Working in two batches, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until broken down into rice-sized pieces, about 8–10 short pulses per batch. The pieces should be roughly uniform, about the size of a grain of rice — stop before the cauliflower turns to mush.
- 2
Spread the riced cauliflower on a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels and press firmly to absorb excess moisture. This step prevents steaming in the pan.
