Are you missing fried rice on keto?

You’ve got to try this delicious keto cauliflower fried rice recipe! It’s a simple meal idea or side dish that my entire family really enjoys every time I make it. I also love that it’s a great way to use up veggies that you may already have on hand!

Instead of regular rice, this keto-friendly recipe uses cauliflower, which is a wonderful low-carb substitute. This savory dish is packed with flavor and healthy nutrients, and it comes together in only 15 minutes. 🙌

Here are a few recipe tips to keep in mind when making keto cauliflower fried rice:

  • We used basic low-carb vegetables in our keto cauliflower fried rice, but if you like different veggies or you’re trying to use up whatever is left in your fridge, feel free to throw in any other veggies your family likes. That’s one of the reasons I love making fried rice – it’s so versatile!
  • Not only does this recipe make use of veggies you may already have on hand, but it’s also a great way to use up any leftover cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken meat.
  • You can rice fresh or frozen cauliflower for this recipe, or you can opt for a frozen bag of riced cauliflower instead, which will definitely save you a little bit of prep time!

    We loved this! Used frozen veggies on hand & added butter to satisfy a craving of a fave restaurant that uses butter. First time trying riced cauliflower & can’t believe how good it is! Thank you!!!

    When do you add the bell peppers. They’re never mentioned in the instructions.

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Whoops! Thanks for the heads up on that, kazy. You’ll add those in on step 3, with the asparagus. 🤗 We’ve updated the instructions above as well. Hoping you enjoy this recipe! 💞
