Cauliflower Rice Veggie Bowls-2Veggies on veggies on veggies! Except it feels and tastes like veggies and veggies on rice! Cauliflower rice!! I’m OBSESSED. 

Guys, have you tried cauliflower rice? It’s the new thing. Everybody’s doing it. Trader Joe’s is now selling frozen AND fresh bags of it! I just can’t handle my excitement. 

Last week I went to the store and pretty much bought all the veggies. 

Cauliflower Rice Veggie BowlsWhich was okay, because I made this concoction and it’s so good and so flavorful and so satisfying! And totally versatile! Throw in whatever veggies you want! It’s one of those clean out your fridge type meals, which are always the best in my house.

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice (I use the fresh bag from Trader Joe’s)
  • 2 teaspoons salt (divided)
  • 3–4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 onion (sliced)
  • 2–2 1/2 cups chopped asparagus
  • 1 bell pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cups shaved brussels sprouts
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Chopped scallions and toasted pistachios for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1) In a large pan heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium/high heat. Add the cauliflower rice and 1 teaspoon of salt and cook for 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the broth, stir and cover. Let it simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes until cauliflower rice is just tender. Once cooked, remove from pan and set aside.
  2. 2) Over medium/high heat add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil in the same pan. Add the onion, asparagus, bell pepper, brussels sprouts, 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon pepper and cook until veggies are cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
  3. 3) In the last few minutes of cooking add the tomatoes and cook for another minute or two. Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
  4. 4) Serve the veggie mixture over the cauliflower rice and top with chopped scallions and pistachios.

      Fun! Are you wanting to keep the slow cooker or side dish vegetarian? Technically you could put it in the oven to keep warm, although it could make the veggies look a little limp. Another option would be to make the cauliflower rice ahead of time, basically do all of step 1 in the directions. Keep the rice warm, and just before serving take 10 minutes to finish the dish. If you have all the veggies chopped and prepped it’s literally just sautéing in the pan for 10 minutes, then put on top the cauliflower, garnish and done!

⁣
There’s never gonna be the perfect time to go after your goals, make the change, take the leap or do that one scary thing you’ve been thinking about. Life will keep happening. There will always be a reason to not.⁣
⁣
But what if? What if you decided right now to make it work? What if you decided to prioritize that thing you KNOW will change your life (and the lives of others) forever? ⁣
⁣
What if I told you that in 8 weeks (think about how short that is in the grand scheme), you could feel confident enough in the kitchen to feed yourself and your family healthy, delicious meals that they begged for over and over again. ⁣
⁣
How would that make you feel? Truly... I want you to take a second to think about how you would feel knowing that you and your family were actually excited about the next meal. So excited that they go back for seconds and request it again the next night. Feels pretty good, huh? ⁣
⁣
Feels pretty awesome to put yourself first for a change because guess what? When you put yourself first, everybody wins. ⁣
⁣
When you shine, everybody lights up. Confidence is something we all have within us, sometimes we just need a little help finding it. ⁣
⁣
If you are someone who feels overwhelmed, lost or anxious in the kitchen, I am here to help. In fact, my gift in life is helping people overcome those feelings in the kitchen which ultimately bleeds into other areas of their life, lighting up the people around them. ⁣

LOOK WHAT I MADE! My first 6-braid challah! 😍⁣
⁣
I’ve been super inspired by this new book JEW-ish by @jakecohen. ⁣
⁣
I love his story, the why behind the book and of course, the recipes!⁣
⁣
Jew-ish is the perfect way to describe how I grew up. Sure, I was raised Jewish, we celebrated all the big holidays and I had a Bat Mitzvah, but I never really built a strong connection with Judaism itself. ⁣
⁣
I’ve learned most everything I know about Judaism through having kids and learning alongside them. It’s been a beautiful journey for me and this book has inspired me to continue learning, celebrating and being proud. ✡️⁣
⁣
@jakecohen writes about making Shabbat and Jewish traditions whatever you want them to be without the pressure of making it perfect. He also teaches you how to make this challah! For me, food is what brings us all together and BOOM CLAP it doesn’t get more Jewish than this big ass challah! ⁣
⁣
Let’s do a GIVEAWAY to celebrate! ⁣

Enter for a chance to win a copy of @jakecohen book JEW-ISH.⁣
