Vegan Veggie Bowl

Finally, you can have nutritious rice with cauliflower ON TOP of the bowl! Not that cauliflower rice was ever really rice in the first place, right? Add avocado to this bowl if you feel so inclined but it certainly isn't necessary. If you aren't vegan, add some shredded parm to the cauliflower 10 minutes before its done cooking and return it to the oven for a crispy, savory and salty treat!
