Dietitian’s tip:
> You can find pre-riced cauliflower in our produce department or within our frozen foods. Within frozen foods, you will also find blends of riced vegetables that might be fun to try out, such as riced cauliflower and sweet potato. The sweet potato would add an extra bit of sweetness to your crust!.
