Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of Cauliflower
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- ¾ cup of chickpeas
- ¼ teaspoon of cayenne
- ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 avocado
- salt and pepper to taste
- Salsa, hot sauce, nutritional yeast (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400. Then, blend cauliflower in a food processor until it forms a rice.
- Over medium heat, cook cauliflower with olive oil until warm (3-4min). Add in spices (I used salt and pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne but you can mix it up).
- Add chickpeas to rice and cook for an additional 5+ minutes. While this is cooking, take your avocado, cut it in half lengthwise, remove the pit and scoop out a thin layer of the meat. This can be saved to be used as a topping for your cauli-rice mix or omitted completely. Lightly salt and pepper the avocado remains.
- Once the rice is done, remove from heat, scoop rice into each half of the avocado, and place both filled halves in the oven on a baking sheet for 7-9 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let slightly cool, and proceed to top with hot sauce, salsa, and/or nutritional yeast.

Notes
- Mix it up and enjoy these stuffed avocados without baking the avocado. It's just as good!
- These stuffed avocados work in the air fryer also! Just set your settings for 5-7 minutes at 375 degrees, or as desired.
- For meal prepping, prep them no more than 24 hours in advance and squeeze fresh lime juice or lemon juice over the flesh of the avocado half to prevent browning
