Cauliflower Fried Rice is a healthy and tasty alternative to traditional fried rice. It’s made with grated cauliflower instead of rice, making it low-carb and packed with veggies. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Serve this dish hot, straight from the pan. Top it with a fried egg for extra protein, or sprinkle some sesame seeds and green onions for added flavor. A dash of soy sauce or coconut aminos brings it all together.
Pair it with grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a complete meal. It also goes well with a side of steamed broccoli or a fresh cucumber salad.
A little tip: Sauté the cauliflower rice just until tender. Overcooking can make it mushy. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like peas, carrots, and bell peppers.
Enjoy this flavorful and nutritious Cauliflower Fried Rice, and feel good about eating your veggies in a fun and delicious way!
