You can cook this riced cauliflower in a skillet with a little oil or butter over medium heat until tender, usually about 5-7 minutes. It can also be steamed, microwaved, or added directly to soups, stews, or sauces. For a crispier texture, spread it on a baking sheet and roast it in the oven. It absorbs flavors well, so season it according to your recipe.
