Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 1/2 cup grated carrots and 1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper with 1 tablespoon avocado oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound grass-fed ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned, then drain excess fat.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tablespoons coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the beef.
  4. Step 4: Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 3 cups riced cauliflower and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly golden.
  5. Step 5: Divide cauliflower rice between plates, top with ginger beef mixture, and arrange roasted vegetables around the edges. Garnish with 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro.
