Notes
Approximate net carbs per serving = 4g.
Since microwaves vary, if yours is very powerful test out the cauliflower at 6 to 8 minutes so it doesn’t overcook. Â Alternatively, if your microwave is kind of wimpy, it may take up to 12 minutes or longer to achieve a fork tender cauliflower that will be easy to blend.
