Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 stalks Green onions
Directions
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into small florets, discarding the stem and leaves.
Step 2
Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower resembles the texture of rice. Be careful not to over-process to avoid a mushy consistency.
Step 3
Chop the green onions and set aside for garnish.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir well to coat with the oil. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender but not mushy.
Step 7
Season the cauliflower rice with sea salt and garlic powder, mixing well. Cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the toasted sesame seeds.
Step 9
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo-friendly white rice alternative!
