Here’s the thing. It’s not actually fried, and it’s not actually rice! But it tastes just as good AND it’s good for you. You really can’t go wrong with this recipe. Need lunch or dinner in 15 minutes or less? Quick & Easy Cauliflower Fried Rice to the rescue!
It’s basically veggies on veggies on veggies. My kinda dish. You can add some grilled chicken or steak to really beef it up, but I love it on it’s own just as much.
The thing about cauliflower rice is that you really feel like you’re eating rice! Except you’re not nearly as full afterwards! And these days there’s so many cauliflower rice options. Fresh, frozen, or even homemade!
All you need to do is throw it in a pan with your favorite veggies and a simple sauce and you’re golden.
Dinner just got SO much easier.
