  • Total Time: 20 min.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Rice:

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: lemon juice and zest for added flavor

Instructions

Prepare the Veggies

  1. Rinse and Chop: Rinse the cauliflower and broccoli under cold water. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and chop it into florets.
  2. Rice the Cauliflower: In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice. Alternatively, you can use a box grater to grate the cauliflower.
  3. Chop the Broccoli: Finely chop the broccoli florets into small pieces to match the texture of the cauliflower rice.

Cook the Rice

  1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add Cauliflower and Broccoli: Stir in the riced cauliflower and chopped broccoli. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the veggies are tender but still slightly crunchy.
  4. Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add a squeeze of lemon juice and some lemon zest for brightness.
