Keto Spanish Cauliflower Rice

27 ratings

Spanish cauliflower rice is full of smoky flavor, is a little spicy, and is a tad crunchy too. This recipe has the perfect amount of sauteed onion, carrot, and jalapeno to enhance the flavors of the spiced cauliflower rice. A generous sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice makes the side dish vibrant and pretty to look at too!

    Prepare the ingredients by dicing the onion, carrots, and jalapeno into tiny pieces. Melt the butter in a wide pan on medium heat, and toss in the veggies. Cover the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the ingredients are tender.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Stir in the cauliflower rice, salt, paprika, cumin, and cayenne. Cook the ingredients, uncovered, until the “rice” is soft and hot - about 3-4 minutes.

    In the last stage of cooking, chop and stir in the cilantro. Transfer the Spanish cauliflower rice to a serving dish, and squeeze fresh lime juice over it. Enjoy!

      This gave me an idea for my own spicy rice! No carrot or jalapeno; used yellow bell pepper and zucchini and added added a tablespoon of srachira instead of the spices. Viola!

        This was so good! I don't think I can ever go back to plain cauliflower rice.

            Doesn’t Spanish Rice usually have tomatoes?

              The recipe above says it is only three net carbs?

              You could include tomatoes at your discretion. Please note that 1 serving of this recipe is already 7g carbs.

              I left out jalapeno and used 2 dashes of cayenne pepper, I also lightly browned the cauliflower rice in butter. Delicious and filling!

                  Is there a way to calculate the macros if I want to take the carrots out? Thanks

                    The carrots only account for 2g carbs in the whole recipe. Hope this helps!

                      Vegs burned, very spicy, so use a small pepper (mine was at least 2 inches) and scrape out the seeds
