EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Utilize the food in your freezer with these frozen cauliflower rice recipes. Swapping in frozen cauliflower rice for brown rice will save you a ton of time in the kitchen and you'll get in an extra serving of vegetables while you're at it. Recipes like Cauliflower Risotto and Southwestern Cauliflower Rice Bowls with Shrimp & Avocado Crema are delicious, filling and perfect for making freezer-friendly meals. 01 of 17 Southwestern Cauliflower Rice Bowls with Shrimp & Avocado Crema View Recipe These healthy Southwestern cauliflower rice bowls, topped with black beans, corn and smoky chipotle shrimp, get a cool-down from homemade avocado crema and take just 30 minutes to make. 02 of 17 Vegan Burrito Bowls with Cauliflower Rice View Recipe These meal-prep vegan burrito bowls are healthier and more flavorful than takeout. Make them early in the week for grab-and-go meals when days are busy. We use frozen cauliflower rice, a low-carb substitute for white or brown rice, to cut down on prep time. 03 of 17 Shrimp Cauliflower Fried Rice View Recipe Cut down on carbs and amp up your veggie servings with this healthy cauliflower fried rice with shrimp, broccoli, bell peppers and garlic. Everything is cooked in one wok or skillet, but in stages, so each element keeps its integrity in the finished dish instead of being all mushed together—it may seem fussy, but it's worth it and actually quite easy. Resist the urge to stir the cauliflower rice right away; letting it cook undisturbed for a few minutes allows it to brown and develop sweet, nutty flavors. This better-than-takeout healthy dinner comes together in just 25 minutes, so it's perfect for busy weeknights. 04 of 17 Korean Steak, Kimchi & Cauliflower Rice Bowls View Recipe Using riced cauliflower as the base of these "grain bowls" is an easy (and tasty!) way to up your vegetable servings. If you've ever wondered how to make those jammy eggs served with ramen, here you go! Let them simmer for 3 minutes more if you prefer a hard-set yolk. 05 of 17 Berry-Banana Cauliflower Smoothie View Recipe Sneak in your veggies with a smoothie every morning. Riced cauliflower adds thickness and creaminess to a subtly sweet cauliflower smoothie that features the fruity flavors of bananas and berries at the forefront. 06 of 17 Cauliflower Rice Bowls with Grilled Chicken View Recipe These healthy Greek-inspired cauliflower rice bowls topped with feta, olives, veggies and grilled chicken are impressive yet take just 30 minutes to make. 07 of 17 Chicken Potpie with Cauliflower Topping View Recipe You won't miss the crust on this chicken potpie-we promise! We cut the carbs by swapping in a riced-cauliflower-and-panko topping for a thin and crispy top layer that's more nutritious than pie crust (but every bit as satisfying). 08 of 17 Cauliflower Fried Rice with Steak View Recipe You could argue that fried rice is really all about the "add-ins," so why not skip the grain itself and save some calories with cauliflower while you're at it? If you want to make this recipe vegetarian, swap sliced mushrooms for the steak. Either way, you don't have to be on a low-carb diet to love this 30-minute dinner. 09 of 17 Cauliflower Risotto View Recipe Cauliflower rice stands in for arborio in this recipe that's not only lower in carbs than traditional risotto, but also way faster and easier to make! In just 20 minutes you'll have a flavorful and healthy vegetable side to go with dinner. 10 of 17 Teriyaki-Glazed Cod with Cauliflower Rice View Recipe This healthy fish recipe comes together fast with just three ingredients you can always have on hand in your freezer and fridge. Store-bought teriyaki glaze makes a great marinade for cod that doubles as a sauce for the cauliflower rice. 11 of 17 Cauliflower Rice Bowls with Grilled Asparagus & Chicken Sausage View Recipe Stock the fridge with a week's worth of lunches using a handful of ingredients from your local grocery store. To save on carbs, we're swapping in riced cauliflower for regular rice and adding pregrilled asparagus, which bulks up these bowls and adds fiber. At lunchtime, just reheat to steaming then top with a bit of pesto. 12 of 17 Cauliflower Chicken Fried "Rice" View Recipe Get an extra serving of vegetables and cut back on carbs by replacing rice with riced cauliflower in this healthy chicken fried rice recipe. 13 of 17 Black Bean-Cauliflower "Rice" Bowl View Recipe This aromatic cauliflower rice bowl comes together in minutes and is a simple meal for one. Using frozen riced cauliflower instead of rice keeps the carbs in check—and makes for quicker prep. 14 of 17 Easy Cauliflower Fried Rice View Recipe This vegetarian faux fried rice uses riced cauliflower in place of white or brown rice to pack in extra veggies and cut down on carbs. Chile-garlic sauce pumps up the heat, and fresh ginger adds a bright, warm bite. If you don't like the heat of the chile-garlic sauce, leave it out and add a bit more tamari or soy sauce for a rich, fermented tang. 15 of 17 Vegan Cauliflower Fried Rice View Recipe Substituting riced cauliflower for rice trims calories and carbs in this veggie-packed dish. Use the vibrant flavors of traditional fried rice—ginger, scallions and tamari—to create a low-carb fried rice version of the classic take-out meal. 16 of 17 Cauliflower Hash with Sausage & Eggs View Recipe This easy and nutritious version of breakfast hash uses cauliflower rice instead of potatoes, and turkey sausage instead of breakfast sausage, for a healthier, low-carb breakfast. Top it off with fried eggs for a satisfying morning meal. 17 of 17 Spiced Grilled Chicken with Cauliflower "Rice" Tabbouleh View Recipe Chicken breasts on the grill have a smoky flavor that's enhanced with an easy spice rub. We chose flat-leaf parsley in this salad because it has a stronger herbal taste than its sometimes-bitter curly counterpart. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
