This cauliflower rice recipe was inspired by a breakfast I had in my hotel while traveling in Indonesia. I wanted to create a healthier version without any grains, and grated cauliflower is a great grain-free substitute for rice, and makes you feel so much lighter. This cauliflower rice makes a really nice breakfast to have on the weekends.
Cauliflower also has many health benefits:
- Has Anti-Cancer Properties. Cauliflower contains sulfur compounds that have been proven to kill cancer cells.
- Is Very Detoxifying due to its high concentration of glucosinolates and sulfur.

- Improves Brain Health due to its high level of choline.

I know cauliflower is so good for you. But I sort of hate it. I NEED to try this recipe to open my mind–and palate–to this vegetable.
Hi Jennifer,
The cauliflower in this recipe really takes on the the other flavors so you can’t really taste it.
I could eat this all the time
Healthy and Low Carb! What a great recipe!
