Broccoli rice is a great low-carb side dish. Tasty alone or as a replacement for rice under your favorite stir-fry or sauce. It also makes a delicious filling for tacos, over a grain bowl, or cool and toss in a salad. Add other herbs and flavors as desired!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli florets

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • ½ small onion, minced

  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced

  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Place 1/2 of the broccoli florets in a food processor; pulse about 20 times until broccoli looks like grains of rice. Repeat with remaining broccoli florets.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook for 30 seconds. Stir in broccoli rice, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until broccoli has softened, about 5 minutes. Pour lemon juice on top.
