Coconut Cauliflower fried rice is one of my go-to 10-minute healthy meals. It’s a ridiculously quick and easy dinner, making it the PERFECT Monday night meal – I mean, who really wants to cook on a Monday night?
The cauliflower rice acts like a sponge and sucks up that lovely sweetness of the coconut and you wind up with a slightly sweet, and savory fried rice – with the added benefits of all the vitamin C & antioxidants of the cauliflower.
BUT the best part of this recipe is that you can use whatever veggies or meat you have on hand and make it truly your own! So even if you forgot to go to the grocery store this weekend, you more than likely have what you need to make this!
