Few years ago, I fall in love with cauliflower rice. It’s a great way to increase your vegetables intake and to reduce your carbohydrates (rice). The way I like to do it is incredibly simple : you blend it in a food processor.
This cauliflower fried rice is a really easy recipe with a short cooking time. It has delicious Asian spices and only 3 staples ingredients : cauliflower, carrot and zucchini !
You can eat it warm, as a side or main dish. You can even eat it cold and tossed on a salad the second day.

How to make cauliflower rice?
Very very simple.
I usually wash and chop the head of cauliflower into florets. Then, I place them into my food processor and pulse it until it resemble rice, using my usual blade.
You can also use your food processor with the grater blade to blitz it into pieces or use a medium size box grater. The box grater requires more time and energy but it is totally faisable.
Top Tip about sesame oil
I use some tasty sesame oil, which comes from sesame seeds. It’s one of the healthiest alternatives to normal vegetable oil options that I try to avoid.
The health benefits of sesame oil are its ability to improve hair and skin health, stimulate strong bone growth, to help to reduce blood pressure, to improve the digestive process and to lower inflammation.
Try to buy an organic cold pressed sesame oil to get the best of it.
Healthy cauliflower fried rice and….
Comforting, flavorful, perfectly spiced and low carb !
