Pour over cauliflower and rub in until it’s all over and bake in 180degree oven for 20 minutes.

Grill for a final 5-10minutes until the top is golden brown.

Rice

Cook rice as per packet instructions and once cooked, layout on a lined baking tray. Mix in olive oil and grill on medium for 5-10minutes until crispy and golden brown. Cook again for a similar time.
