Prepare all ingredients by chopping, grating, and slicing as needed. Ensure the cauliflower rice is ready and vegetables are prepped.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped bell peppers, zucchini, grated carrots, and snow peas. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the empty side.
Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked, then stir back into the vegetables.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the vegetables and eggs.
Pour the soy sauce or tamari over the mixture and stir to distribute evenly. Add the sesame oil for extra flavor.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice is tender and heated through.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
