I make some version of this peanut cauliflower rice all the time so I thought it was about time I shared it with you! It’s super easy to make and comes together in just a few minutes, even with making the cauliflower rice! If you prep the cauliflower rice ahead of time, you’re looking at about 10 minutes said and done.

Quick and Easy Peanut Cauliflower Rice

Use Any Veggies You Want

You can choose any veggies you want for this dish but I usually keep it simple with diced red peppers, carrot and green onion. I love lots of cilantro in mine and of course, plenty of garlic flavour.

Cauliflower rice is a weekly staple at my house. I love prepping a huge batch of it on weekends so I can make quick dinners during the week like my Healthy Fried Cauliflower Rice or Red Curry Cauliflower Rice! You can check this post for how to make riced cauliflower.

I love cauliflower in general, it’s such a versatile veggie and it’s packed with plenty of nutrition too! Cauliflower rice is one of my favourite ways to eat it but I also love curried roasted cauliflower, adding it to smoothies and baking it with nutritional yeast.
