Cauliflower fried rice recipe and content provided by Ryan Carter, Live Vitae

You might not think cauliflower tastes appetizing on its own, but this cauliflower fried rice recipe amps up its neutral flavor with fresh veggies, spices and bacon. Plus, you can have it ready in only 20 minutes!

Cauliflower can do no wrong — you can already use it to make lower-carb versions of pizza crust, Alfredo sauce and even oatmeal. This cauliflower fried rice is just one more way to take advantage of its fiber and micronutrients in an easy, one-pot meal. While this recipe uses bacon and an array of veggies, you can easily trade in your favorite pastured meats, “green-zone” produce and anti-inflammatory spices.

Serve cauliflower fried rice with flavorful sides like beef stir fry or cassava egg rolls — or keep it simple and toss a pastured ribeye steak on top.
