How do you keep the prep and cooking to a minimum?
In this recipe we do have a few time-savers to keep your prep and cook times to a minimum.
Use pre-riced cauliflower – either fresh or frozen will work just fine. We typically prefer fresh because it seems to cook up quicker and keep its texture a little better.Make the optional sauce while the the rest of the food is cooking – there’s no need to prep it before you get started because you’ll have free hands and be able to do it while the rest cooks. Use pre-made mayo for the sauce – since this is meant to be a quick and easy weeknight dinner, we opted for using store bought mayo for the sauce. Just make sure to check the ingredients and get one that’s made with avocado oil rather than seed or vegetable oils. If you have extra time – and want to try making your own aioli – try our chipotle aioli. It really only takes few minutes to make and is super easy, but does add a couple extra steps and ingredients though.
So it’s low carb, but not Keto?
Well, in our opinion this recipe can fit into a Keto-ish lifestyle, but we did use carrots and technically carrots are a starchy vegetable and not considered Keto. So, we’ve appropriately labeled this recipe as low carb rather than Keto. We know some of you will comment and point out the carrots, so we thought we’d just call it out and move on! If you’re hoping to eat lower carb, this recipe is for you! If you adhere to strict Keto rules, you could substitute with a different non-starchy vegetable in place of the carrots. Sound good?
So what would be some other non-starchy, Keto-friendly vegetables you could use?
Some examples that would work well in this recipe are mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli and green beans. You could swap them in easily and enjoy the same mix of texture of tender, with a little crunch in the veggies. If you try different combinations, leave a comment below so we can see what you all enjoy the most!
