Keto Homefries with Caramelized Cauliflower, Onion & Peppers

The past few weeks I’ve been in sunny Napa Valley, which is basically my happy place and also where I got married. I knew coming out here I’d probably be breaking a few keto rules, and would likely go over my normal quota of wine. But one thing I’ve learned is that there’s nothing that beats fresh food and veggies that don’t make you feel heavy and bloated. Say no to home fry bloat, and try this lighter, healthier edition. While homefries are a dime a dozen, these keto homefries which use cauliflower instead of potato are a lighter, fresher version. The onions and pepper caramelize while the cauliflower steams, and once they meld together, you’ll be like, “potato who?”

These keto homefries are great alone, or split in two and served with an egg on top.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 head of chopped fresh cauliflower
• 1/2 of a chopped yellow onion
• 1/4 of a chopped yellow pepper
• 1/4 of a chopped red pepper
• 1/4 of a chopped green pepper
• 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning

Steps:

1. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, add 1/2 inch of water, and then chopped cauliflower. Microwave for 4 minutes (or steam how you traditionally like to steam veggies)
   
3. While the cauliflower is steaming, add the chopped peppers and onions to the skillet.
4. Let cook for one minute, then add 2 tbsp of water. When water reduces, add another tbsp and keep adding while cauliflower steams (this helps soften and caramelize the onions and peppers).
5. Once cauliflower is done steaming, let sit in the microwave for two minutes.
6. Add poultry seasoning and dill to the veggies, and mix.
7. Add cauliflower and mix. Let meld together for 5-10 minutes until desired softness.

9. If you like, split into two servings and top with sunny-side up eggs. Just be sure to add the carbs for the eggs. Enjoy!
