In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the garlic and coat with oil.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the cauliflower rice. Stir and cook the mixture for 6-7 minutes until the cauliflower is just tender.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice.
Serve immediately as a side dish or as a base for your favorite low-carb meal.
