Easy Cauliflower Fried Rice

This simple cauliflower rice looks and taste just like fried rice and is lower in carbs then the traditional fried rice.

This cauliflower fried rice is such a great alternative to takeout fried rice! It’s perfect for those on a low carb diet or just wanting to try something new. I mean cauliflower has really taken off! There’s so much you can do with it these days… like cauliflower pizza, mashed cauliflower, cauliflower everythanggg. Ok, but on a serious note, this cauliflower fried rice is amazing!

I am all about simplicity and easy meals. This recipe calls for premade frozen vegetables and cauliflower rice. This recipe, however, will work if you would like to cut up fresh veggies.

Notes: Creating a well for your egg
