Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the whisked eggs to the skillet and scramble until just cooked through, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the scrambled eggs and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced carrots, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.
Push the vegetables and rice mixture to one side of the skillet. Add the coconut aminos and optional sesame oil (if using), stirring them into the rice and vegetables.
Add the scrambled eggs back into the skillet, breaking them up into smaller pieces and mixing them throughout the fried rice.
Garnish with sliced green onions and mix to combine. Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 Vegetable Fried Rice!
