Healthy Vegan Cauliflower Fried Rice

This healthy vegan cauliflower fried rice is so good, so easy, so healthy, so filling!

This recipe is really easy to make and one of my favourite weeknight dinners. It takes less than 20 minutes and even less if you make the riced cauliflower ahead of time. It’s also low in carbs and has 15 grams of protein per serving.

As for the oil in this recipe, although most of my recipes are oil-free, I would suggest keeping the sesame oil in this recipe as it really gives the dish that “fried rice” flavour.

To make this dish, simply cook the garlic in a skillet with the sesame oil for a few minute then add the carrots and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients, cook it all up until heated through and serve.

How to Make Cauliflower Rice

1. Wash a head of cauliflower then chop or break into large chunks. I like to break it up and throw it in a colander to easily wash it.
2. Add the chunks to a food processor and pulse a few times until it forms a rice consistency. That’s it!

The riced cauliflower can be stored in the fridge and used in various recipes or used right away in this fried rice dish.

Adding Protein

To add more protein to this dish, I’d suggest adding chickpeas, edamame, baked tofu or marinated baked tempeh. You could also stir in some scramble tofu since traditional fried rice has egg in it.
