Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Bell pepper
• 1 small Zucchini
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Remove the green leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice-size granules. Be careful not to over-process.

Step 2

Peel the carrot and chop it into small cubes. Chop the bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into small, even-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped carrot, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

Step 5

Stir in the riced cauliflower, ensuring it is well mixed with the other vegetables. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle the lemon juice over the rice and mix well. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 7

Serve hot as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy your delicious and healthy Paleo Rice with Mixed Vegetables!
