Veggie and Egg Cauliflower Rice Bowls | Lemons and Basil

These Veggie and Egg Cauliflower Rice Bowls are pretty much all my favorites things cooked and tossed together in one bowl. We’re talking riced cauliflower + Brussels sprouts + zucchini + soft eggs + shaved parmesan cheese + roasted pumpkin seeds. You’ve got flavor, texture, crunch and NUTRITION playing together like BFF’s.

Cauliflower has been a long time friend of mine featured in a number of my recipes. I love that in the same way a blank canvas willingly evolves into whatever the artist envisions, cauliflower too, eagerly adapts and embraces whatever flavors or texture you desire. It’s played a leading role in these tacos, pizza, pasta, curry and lettuce wraps and now its the base for these Veggie and Egg Cauliflower Rice Bowls.

With the sun setting by 4:30 every day, I make and photograph all dishes during the day for the natural light. Having prepared this while Josh was at work, I warmed up the cauliflower rice and veggies and fixed a couple fresh eggs for him for dinner. It wasn’t until after he finished the large helping that I told him it was cauliflower and not a grain or rice, he had no idea, but seemed to enjoy every bite. He’s use to my veggie-loaded meals and doesn’t question me often, still it’s always a good sign when he doesn’t ask what he’s eating and instead digs in.

Recapping Reasons to LOVE these Cauliflower Rice Bowls:

  • Riced cauliflower over traditional rice, barley, or Farro
  • High protein eggs, cooked to your liking
  • Brussels Sprouts + Pumpkin Seeds + Parmesan Cheese…need I say more?
  • Vitamin boasting, flavor bursting Smoked Paprika
  • Turmeric and all its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant glory
  • Flavor + texture + NUTRITION
  • Hearty and filling 🙌
  • ONE pot dish, simple cleanup – yes please and thank you

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 medium sweet onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 large bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1/2 medium zucchini chopped
  • 12 small Brussels sprouts roughly chopped
  • 4-5 cups riced cauliflower
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 oz fresh shaved parmesan cheese
  • fresh herbs

Instructions

  • Add coconut oil to 10” skillet and cook on medium heat for 30 seconds or until oil melts. Add onions, stir to coat in oil, then cook 1-2 minutes. Add bell pepper, stir, and continue to cook 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir zucchini and Brussels sprouts into onion/pepper mixture, cover with lid and cook 2-3 minutes.
  • Add 4-5 cups riced cauliflower along with seasonings, stir to combine, cover with lid and cook 4-5 minutes.
  • Lower heat to low and create grooves for the eggs using the back of a large spoon. Crack eggs and add to each groove, cover with lid and cook about 2 minutes, or until eggs are cooked to preference. I tend to prefer a runny yoke, but did these with a soft yoke.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with pumpkin seeds, freshly grated parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.
