How to make Cauliflower Rice in just 10 minutes! This low-carb, Keto friendly and gluten-free alternative to grain rice is an easy and delicious option for many rice dishes!

Cauliflower is a wonderful vegetable that can be used to make not only Fried Rice but also Alfredo sauce or roasted with garlic and Parmesan cheese.

For the past few weeks, I have been testing the idea of rice made of cauliflower and it’s uses in many dishes you would typically serve with rice. And I am OBSESSED! Can’t believe it took me so long to jump on this, especially since (as you may know) I love love love my cauliflower Alfredo sauce and used it in healthy mac and cheese and our beloved Fettuccine Alfredo pasta dish. This Cauliflower Rice is perfect in any Asian dish, topped with stir fry or served with grilled chicken and steamed broccoli.

Cauliflower Fried Rice

Cauliflower Fried Rice – this healthy, low carb version of a popular takeout dish. It takes about 20 minutes to make, including grating the cauliflower.

I use cauliflower to make healthier versions of our favorite dishes, like my Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce or Healthy Mac and Cheese.

The best way to see if a healthier substitution works is to try it in one of your favorite recipes. I knew that the first dish I wanted to try with my new obsession – the cauliflower rice – is Fried Rice. I was crossing my fingers so hard because my Hubby loves fried rice and I really wanted him to love it with my cauliflower substitution.

You guys, we literally ate the whole pan, no plates – just forks and pan! We are obsessed with this version of fried rice! The same flavors, less calories. It is so good and you can’t tell that there is no grain rice in it.
