Ingredients
  

  • 24 oz (680 g) 1 large cauliflower head, riced -
  • 1.5 cups (355 ml) chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp (2.5 ml) turmeric powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • DIY Cauliflower Rice: To make your own, chop a cauliflower head into large chunks and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Be careful not to over-process, or it will become mushy.
  • Make It Vegan: Easily adapt this recipe by swapping the chicken stock for an equal amount of vegetable stock or even just water.
  • Flavor Variations: Don't be afraid to experiment! Add a pinch of cumin and coriander for a warmer spice profile, or stir in fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice after cooking for a brighter taste.

Method
 

  1. Combine : In a baking pan or accessory that fits comfortably inside your air fryer basket, add the riced cauliflower.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil and pour in the chicken stock.
  3. Sprinkle with turmeric, salt, and pepper.
  4. Toss the mixture thoroughly to ensure every grain of cauliflower is evenly coated.
  5. Air Fry to Perfection: Carefully place the pan into the air fryer.
  6. Cook at 360°F / 182°C for 20 minutes. For the best results and to prevent sticking, give the cauliflower rice a good stir about halfway through the cooking time.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once the timer goes off, cautiously remove the hot pan from the air fryer. Fluff the golden rice with a fork, divide it between four plates, and serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
