Instructions
- Place a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Coat the skillet with cooking spray and then add in the slices of bacon.
- Cook the bacon for about 5 minutes or until almost crispy.
- When done, remove the bacon with tongs or a slotted spatula and set aside on a paper-towel lined plate.
- While the bacon is cooking, place your carrot noodles into a food processor.
- Pulse for 5-10 seconds or until the noodles turn into rice-like bits. Set aside.
- In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add in the garlic and leeks.
- Stir to cook for 1 minute and then add in 1 tbsp of the vegetable broth.
- Stir to combine and then add in the lemon juice and carrot "rice."
- Stir to combine again and season with pepper.
- Let cook for 1 minute and then add in the rest of the vegetable broth. Let reduce until the liquid is fully absorbed.
- Taste the "rice." If the carrot is no longer crunchy, it's done. If not, cook covered for 3 more minutes.
- While the rice is reducing, dice your slices of bacon. Set aside.
- When the rice is done, fold in the diced bacon, stir to combine and then pour into a bowl.
- Top with parsley.
