How do you make cauliflower rice not soggy?

Roasting the cauliflower draws out a lot of the moisture which causes cauliflower rice to become soggy. It also gives you some nice crispy bits where it's been browned on the sheet pan.

Does cauliflower rice taste like rice?

No. Nothing can replace the starchy goodness of rice. However, cauliflower rice does give us the same texture as rice and is a refreshing option for a lighter meal. The roasted garlic in this recipe really provides a ton of extra flavor to your standard cauliflower rice.

Can you bake cauliflower rice in the oven?

Yes. I might argue it's the best way to cook cauliflower rice. Roasting helps dry out the cauliflower and intensifies it's flavor.
