Cauliflower Rice Bowl
The cauliflower rice is awesome on its own but an edible bowl gives it a nice boost. This avocado bowl provides a hearty serving of healthy fat...and means fewer dishes when you're done.
Hope you enjoy!
Cauliflower Rice Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of cauliflower
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- ¾ cup of chickpeas
- 1 avocado
- ¼ teaspoon of cayenne
- ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Salsa/hot sauce/nutritional yeast (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400. Then, blend cauliflower in a food processor until it forms a rice.
- Over medium heat, cook cauliflower with olive oil until warm (3-4min). Add in spices (I used salt and pepper, garlic powder and cayenne but you can mix it up)
- Add chickpeas to rice and cook for an additional 5+ minutes. While this is cooking, take your avocado, cut it in half lengthwise, remove the pit and scoop out a thin layer of the meat. This can be saved to be used as a topping for your cauli-rice mix or omitted completely. Lightly salt and pepper the avocado remains.
- Once the rice is done, remove from heat, scoop rice into each half of the avocado, and place both filled halves in the oven on a baking sheet for 7-9 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let slightly cool, and proceed to top with hot sauce, salsa, and/or nutritional yeast.
