This month’s theme: Sheet Pan Meals
Sheet pan meals are perfect for busy weeknights—toss ingredients on a pan, roast, and enjoy an easy dinner with minimal cleanup. Here’s a healthy sheet pan take on fried rice using cauliflower rice and baked eggs.
I wasn’t always sold on cauliflower rice—texture and expectations can be tricky—but when you bake it until it’s crisp at the edges, then top it with a runny fried egg and a drizzle of tamari, it becomes hard to resist.
Baking the cauliflower gives a pleasant crunch that more closely mimics traditional fried rice. And for me, a baked (or fried) egg beats scrambled every time.
