Description

Easy Cauliflower Fried Rice is a quick and healthy twist on traditional fried rice, perfect for busy weeknights. This vibrant dish features riced cauliflower mixed with colorful vegetables like carrots and bell peppers, all tossed in savory soy sauce and fragrant sesame oil.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium cauliflower head (about 4 cups riced)
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup frozen green peas

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cauliflower by removing leaves and cutting it into florets. Pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice; alternatively, grate it with a box grater.
