Ingredients:
– 2 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
– 1 small zucchini, diced
– 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
– 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or cilantro)
Instructions:
1. If using fresh cauliflower, wash and chop the cauliflower into florets. Use a food processor to pulse it into rice-sized pieces. If using frozen cauliflower rice, thaw it according to the package instructions.
2. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

4. Stir in the chopped spinach and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
5. Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly golden.
6. In a separate small pan, scramble the eggs over medium heat until fully cooked. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
7. Serve the sautéed vegetable and cauliflower rice mixture on plates, topped with scrambled eggs. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
