Sweet Potato & Cauliflower Rice Bowl

In this riff on a healthy grain bowl recipe, we use cauliflower rice instead of a whole grain like brown rice to cut back on carbs and load up on veggie servings. A simple citrusy drizzle—inspired by Cuban mojo sauce—finishes these vegan rice bowls, which are perfect for lunch or dinner.

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil plus 2 tablespoons, divided
