Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium heads cauliflower, cored and riced (see tips in the note section)

Add the cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until cauliflower is tender. (Be sure to not overcook, or cauliflower will become mushy) Add paprika and cumin. Sauté for an additional minute.
