Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower florets
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 medium, diced carrots
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup peas
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 3 thinly sliced green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by making the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower is small and resembles the texture of rice. Be careful not to over-process.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until it starts to soften.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced red bell pepper. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4

Push the vegetable mixture to the side of the skillet and pour in the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble them until fully cooked.

Step 5

Combine the egg and vegetable mixture, then add the riced cauliflower and peas to the skillet. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients.

Step 6

Pour the coconut aminos over the cauliflower rice and mix thoroughly. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the sliced green onions and fresh cilantro just before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Cauliflower Fried Rice.
