How To Cook Frozen Cauliflower Rice?

I bought the green giant cauliflower crumbles from the store and while initially I didn’t think much about what to do with it, because it was suggested to use in a pizza crust or sauce and since I didn’t make any pizza crust or sauce, the cauliflower crumbles sat there for quite a while.

Then I thought why can’t I try roasting this, as roasted cauliflower always tastes good, especially when paired with Indian spices like this simple roasted frozen cauliflower and curry roasted cauliflower recipes.

Baking or roasting the frozen cauliflower rice is one of the most easy ways to cook frozen cauliflower.

Roasted cauliflower rice retains its crunchy texture and roasting brings out the best flavors in veggies including crumbled or rice cauliflower.
