Notes

Meal Prep and Storage

  • To Prep-Ahead: If you're making your own riced cauliflower, you can get it ready a day or two before. You can also chop the onion and bell pepper ahead of time.
  • To Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days.
  • To Freeze: Place cauliflower rice in a freezer-safe bag or container and store in the freezer for up to months.
  • To Reheat: Warm this back up in a skillet for the best result. If needed, you could use the microwave.
