Ingredients:
- 1 head of cauliflower, grated or chopped into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions:
First, wash the head of cauliflower and remove the leaves and stem. Cut the cauliflower into small pieces and place them in a food processor or use a grater to create small, rice-sized pieces. You can also chop the cauliflower into small pieces with a knife.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add coconut oil or vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir well to coat it with the onion and garlic mixture.
Add the frozen peas and carrots to the skillet and continue to stir until the vegetables are heated through and the cauliflower is cooked to your desired texture.
Push the vegetables and cauliflower to one side of the skillet, and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, and then mix the eggs with the cauliflower mixture.
Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Serve the cauliflower fried rice hot and enjoy!
