Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- 8 oz sausage (sugar-free, keto-friendly, sliced or crumbled)
- 1 medium zucchini (diced)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 cup broccoli florets (chopped small)
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos (or tamari for a soy-based keto option)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the sausage to the pan and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Once hot, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until they are just set, then mix them with the vegetables.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the vegetables and eggs. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice is tender and lightly browned.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix well.
Drizzle the sesame oil and coconut aminos over the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper, then stir to evenly distribute.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot.
