Sausage Pepper Cauliflower Rice Skillet

I make a lot of cauliflower rice because rice is what I missed the most when I started a low carb diet. So I’m constantly experimenting with new ways to dress it up so I don’t get bored of it.

This sausage and cauliflower rice recipe is really easy and delivers so much flavor for so little effort and that’s one of my favorite things about it. And also the fact that the ingredients are things I usually have already in my house, makes this an absolute winner in my books.

It is also incredibly nutritious with 16g of protein, and a good amount of vitamin A and C altogether in one plate. You can’t go wrong with this recipe!

How to Make Sausage Cauliflower Rice

frying sausages with vegetables
  1. Next, fry the sausages in olive oil and when done, take them out and set them aside in a colander to drain the excess oil. If you didn’t cut the sausages before frying, wait for them to cool down a bit before chopping them.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to another pan or you can drain out the oil from the first pan and use it. Add the chopped bell peppers and onions and stir. Let it fry for a few minutes, add some salt and bouillon powder, and then fry for a few more minutes.
  3. Add the sausages and the cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and curry. You can mix and match spices or use any you prefer.
  4. Let it fry for about 2 minutes to give the sausage some time to absorb the flavors, then pour in the cauliflower rice.
  5. Stir thoroughly and adjust the spices if you wish. Then let it cook some more for a few minutes on medium heat.
