Give your favorite vegetables a spicy kick with this bold cauliflower rice dish topped with spicy almond sauce! A 30-minute meal that’s vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and Paleo-friendly.
Made with three vegetables – sweet potato, cauliflower and red bell pepper – and drizzled with a spicy sauce, this meal is packed with vitamins, minerals and healthy fats.
This dish is made in a single sauté pan. No roasting, no turning on the oven, and only one pan to wash. Spiralizing the sweet potato and ricing the cauliflower reduces the cooking time and makes the veggies extra caramelized and tender. That way, you can cook everything in one pan and have a hearty meal ready in less than 30 minutes.
Add power-packed superfood veggies to every meal with these easy cauliflower recipes.

This recipe is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, especially during those busy weeknights. You can easily add chicken, lamb, or fish for extra protein. Eggs would be awesome too for breakfast!
Tip: Make your own homemade nut butter to drizzle on top! Sunflower, hemp seeds, almonds and pecans are my favorite homemade blend. It will give the sauce an extra special touch of flavor. Save some nuts and seeds to sprinkle on top for extra crunch too!
