Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower and cut it into chunks. Grate the chunks using a food processor with the grater attachment or a box grater until it resembles rice – about 3 cups.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become bright green and slightly tender.
Step 4
Stir in the cauliflower rice. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is heated through and tender.
Step 5
Mix in the chopped parsley, basil, and thyme leaves, combining well with the rice and broccoli. Add the lemon zest, salt, and black pepper, stirring until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot. Enjoy your Keto Herbed Rice with Broccoli as a flavorful low-carb side dish.
