Instructions
- Cook the Onions: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Notes
To save time, you can prep the riced cauliflower and chop the onion in advance. Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to two days.
