This easy cilantro lime cauliflower rice is low-carb and keto-friendly, packed with fresh flavor. Ready in 20 minutes and perfect for meal prep.
Equipment
- 1 Skillet
Ingredients
- 4 cups Frozen Riced Cauliflower
- ½ cup Onion Diced
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Lime Zest
- 2 tablespoon Lime Juice
- ¼ cup Cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
- Reduce the temperature to medium-low and add the frozen cauliflower, breaking up any large chunks. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is heated through and tender.
- While the cauliflower cooks, prep your cilantro by chopping it, and lime by juicing and zesting it.
- Remove from heat, then stir in the cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest.
- Taste and add extra lime juice if you want a brighter flavor. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use a large nonstick skillet - this helps it cook evenly and helps it to brown instead of steam, and keeps it from sticking.
- Break up any large chunks of frozen cauliflower rice before adding it to the skillet to ensure even cooking.
- Avoid overcooking - Once the water has evaporated and the cauliflower is tender, remove it from the heat to prevent mushiness.
- Trim thicker cilantro stems before chopping - you can use the tender stems and leaves for the freshest flavor.
Storage Refrigeration: Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Freezing: Let the cauliflower rice cool completely and transfer to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2-3 months. Reheating: For the best method, reheat in a skillet over medium heat for the best texture. You can add a small drizzle of olive oil to bring it back to life.
