Earlier this week I added riced cauliflower to my breakfast oats, today we’re going the savory route with this Spicy Tahini Riced Cauliflower.
And let me start by saying if you’re not on the riced cauliflower train, now is the time to hop on! They are SO versatile, easy to cook, and super convenient now that you can buy riced frozen cauliflower at most grocery stores.
And if you’re looking for a recipe to give riced cauliflower a try. THIS IS IT. I’m not kidding when I say Andy actually got upset with me when I finished the leftovers last time I made these for dinner. Oops.
I also love how easy it is to whip up this flavorful Spicy Tahini Riced Cauliflower. You roast your tofu. Make your sauce. Cook your stir fry. Combine. That’s it for this easy weeknight dinner!
Here’s what I think you’ll also love this Spicy Tahini Riced Cauliflower:
