Cauliflower Fried “Rice” {Grain-Free, Low Carb}
Ever since my first success with cauliflower I’ve really been enjoying experimenting with it. So, in addition to yummy “Twice-Baked” Faux-tatoes and Sweet Faux-tato Casserole, we frequently enjoy fried “rice” made with cauliflower (and I’ll be sharing a delicious garlic “bread” recipe soon, too). This is an easy recipe that freezes well. I love to keep some in the fridge to have quick side dish handy.
Ingredients
- 1/2 head of cauliflower
- coconut oil
- 1 cup onion
- cooked peas
- cooked egg
- gluten-free soy sauce
Directions
Sautee onion in coconut oil for 3-4 minutes.
Rinse cauliflower and cut into chunks. Place in food processor and pulse until you get rice-like texture.
Add to the pan with the sautéed onion. I usually add more coconut oil and then season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add peas, egg and a splash or two of soy sauce. Sautee for a few minutes until heated through.
Notes
Incorporate any add-ins that you like. I frequently use shrimp or chicken.

What a clever idea! Cauliflower makes good “mashed potatoes” and pizza “crust.” Why not rice? Thank you so much for linking up at Gluten-Free Monday on OneCreativeMommy.com.
Oh boy, do I like the sounds of this! I like recipes that can be used as a side dish, or you can turn into a main course. Thanks for sharing in our recipe linky!
I’m going to try this! We’re much better off without rice, but we miss it!

This sounds delightful! I’m going to try it!
This looks wonderful, and nice and simple! Thanks so much for sharing it on Waste Not Want Not Wednesday today, Anne-Marie
I make cauliflower fried rice often and my family just loves it! I highly recommend it! I usually add a few carrots while cooking and a splash of sesame oil at the end. Good stuff!
Is it weird that I STILL haven’t made “cauliflowered” rice!! I need to suck up my laziness and just DO IT!
