Let’s get cooking! You’ll need just a few simple things for this quick and tasty meal.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced

A quick note on riced cauliflower: If you don’t have pre-riced cauliflower, don’t worry! Just chop your cauliflower florets into smaller pieces. Then, pulse them in a food processor until they look like tiny rice grains. Easy peasy!

Simple Steps to Make Keto Cauliflower Fried Rice (15 Min)

Ready to whip up this amazing dish? It’s easier than you think!

Get your skillet nice and hot. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet or wok. Heat it over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Toss in the onions. Add your chopped onion to the hot oil. Cook them for about 3 minutes. You want them to get soft and smell wonderful.
Add the garlic and other veggies. Now, put in the minced garlic, chopped broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry these for 5 minutes. Keep things moving so they cook evenly. You want them tender but still a little crisp.
Bring on the peas and cauliflower. Stir in the frozen peas and your riced cauliflower. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir often. The cauliflower should be tender by now.

Scramble those eggs! Push all the veggies to one side of the skillet. Pour your lightly beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble them until they are cooked through. Then, mix them in with the veggies.
Flavor time! Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (or tamari) and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Mix everything together really well. This brings all the flavors together.
Season to your liking. Taste the fried rice. Add salt and pepper as needed. Give it one last good stir.
Serve it up! This Keto Cauliflower Fried Rice is best served right away while it’s hot and fresh.

Spice it Up: For a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic and other vegetables. It gives a nice kick!

Serving and Storing Your Keto Cauliflower Fried Rice (15 Min)

This Keto Cauliflower Fried Rice is truly best enjoyed fresh off the skillet. The vegetables have a lovely tender-crisp texture, and all those savory flavors meld together perfectly when it’s hot. It’s the ideal quick dinner for busy evenings.

Got leftovers? No problem! Let the fried rice cool down completely. Then, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should keep well for about 2-3 days. When you’re ready to reheat, a quick zap in the microwave works well. You can also gently reheat it in a skillet over medium heat, adding a tiny splash of water or broth if it seems a bit dry. Enjoy your delicious, low-carb meal!

Frequently Asked Questions About Keto Cauliflower Fried Rice (15 Min)

Got questions about this speedy low carb dinner? I’ve got answers!

How do I get cauliflower rice if I don’t have a food processor?

No worries! You can often buy pre-riced cauliflower at the grocery store. If you have a box grater, you can grate the cauliflower florets. Or, use a very sharp knife to finely chop the florets until they resemble rice grains. It just takes a little extra chopping!

Absolutely! This easy stir fry is super forgiving. Feel free to use other low-carb veggies you have on hand. Thinly sliced zucchini, snap peas, or even some chopped mushrooms would be delicious additions. Just make sure to cut them to a similar size so they cook evenly.

How can I make this Keto Cauliflower Fried Rice spicier?

If you love a bit of heat, you’re in luck! Add a pinch of red pepper flakes when you add the garlic and other veggies. You could also serve it with a drizzle of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick. Enjoy your customized low carb dinner!
