How to make Cauliflower Rice Bowl
On a parchment-lined sheet-pan, zucchini, mushrooms, onion and tofu ( or chicken) are drizzled with a simple miso sesame marinade, next to the cauliflower rice. Then it is baked!
Pretty simple!
Here I’m using tofu, but chicken breast will work well too!
Or use some of each for mixed households!
Garnish with sesame seeds, avocado, sriracha and Gomasio!

This is my go-to site whenever I need a recipe. Had some cauliflower rice, searched the site and found this one. Very good as always!
Thanks so much Peter!
i love this recipe so much! I’ve been using it consistently for over 2 years now. i usually make this and then get a rotisserie chicken and add chicken on top. it’s phenomenal, and I usually make double the marinade because it. is. that. good. can’t recommend it enough.
Perfect and great to hear!
Another winner! I used two sheet pans as I had more than enough vegetables to use up…zucchini, shiitakes, onions, butternut squash, Japanese sweet potato. I loved the marinade, which I doubled, particularly on the shiitakes and onions. Topped it all with avocado, furikake and a couple of other suggestions.
Yum! sounds good Sherie!
Shame that people don’t appreciate the time and money that goes into creating and posting recipes without complaining about creators needing revenue from ads
Great recipe! It was easy to follow and taste amazing. I added red pepper and red onions.
Perfect Bee- thanks!
Easy to make and quite delicious! I substituted the mushrooms with eggplant, and that turned out well.
YES, I know they are annoying-sorry. You can always use the “jump to recipe” button at the top of each post to avoid them. Ads are how we are able to provide you with free content. It’s just part of the business of blogging. Sites that do not have ads, usually charge a membership fee. We do not.
Made this a second time with chicken tenders instead of tofu (absolutely LOVED with tofu) and felt the chicken were missing something, the miso marinade was great with the tofu and veggies but a little bland for the chicken . I cooked them the full 30 minutes and would cook for less time next time (the chicken was a little dry, my own fault) and would use chicken thighs instead. Still love the flavor the miso gives to the veggies!
Thanks so much for sharing Tim!
Easy to make and really flavorful. Used two separate trays for more space, one just cauliflower rice. Topped with avocado, hemp seeds, sriracha, and a little low sodium soy sauce.
Perfect Tim! Thanks for sharing!
We make this all the time- love it! Easy, and full of flavor!
Very nice, a lot of taste. Next time I will be using 2 sheet pans for a better result.
Yummy. Used some cooked chicken. Cut the final 10 minutes to 5. This is a keeper.
I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! I found your blog yesterday and I am so excited to try your recipes. I love your perspective! Thanks for sharing.
