• Cauliflower - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
3. Spread the cauliflower rice on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until golden.
