When you’ve been blogging for more than 15 years, there are always recipes back in the archives that you really want to improve. And sometimes when I’m improving an old recipe I like to make it more carb-conscious than the original version.
So this Greek Cauliflower Rice Bake is an updated and improved version of a very old casserole back in the archives that was originally made with leftover brown rice. (Here’s the printer-friendly version of that old recipe in case anyone was a fan!)
The updated Greek Cauliflower Rice Bake uses frozen cauliflower rice, and I don’t mind a bit using a convenience product like that which makes it quicker to whip this up for a side dish. Of course there still may be people reading the blog who would prefer a side dish casserole with brown rice. Not to worry, I will give instructions in the recipe for anyone who’d like to make it that way.
What ingredients do you need for this recipe?
(This is only a list of ingredients; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)

What gives Greek flavors to this cauliflower rice bake?
I used Greek Seasoning (affiliate link) and a generous amount of crumbled Feta Cheese to give this recipe those Greek flavors that I love so much.
What to serve with this cauliflower rice side dish to make a low-carb meal:
I hope you’ll try this as a side dish for Greek Lemon Chicken, Low-Carb Baked Greek Meatballs, or Very Greek Grilled Chicken. I promise it will make a delicious dinner!

Greek Cauliflower Rice Bake

Ingredients
- 2 10 oz. pkg. frozen cauliflower rice

- 1 red bell pepper, diced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 T Greek Seasoning (see notes)
- 1 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 1 cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Take two 1o oz. packages frozen cauliflower rice out of the freezer and let it start to thaw on the counter.

- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and saute the peppers and onions over medium-high heat until they're just starting to cook, about 2 minutes.
- Then add the Greek Seasoning (affiliate link) and some fresh-ground black pepper and cook about 2 minutes more.
- While that cooks, measure out the Feta and slice the green onions. (Please use the full amount; they add a lot of flavor!)
- Break cauliflower rice apart inside the package if it's still in frozen clumps.
- Then add cauliflower rice to the frying pan and cook just until it's heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Turn off heat and mix in the green onions and 3/4 cup crumbled Feta.
- Put that mixture into the casserole dish and top with remaining Feta.
- Bake until the casserole is steaming hot and Feta is starting to melt, about 30 minutes.
Notes
Greek Seasoning (affiliate link) is readily available but if you don't want to buy it most brands are a mixture of salt, Turkish oregano, garlic, lemon peel, black pepper, and marjoram.
To make this recipe with brown rice instead of cauliflower rice: You will need 4 cups cooked brown rice. Also add 1/4 cup chicken stock to the mixture before you add it to the casserole dish. Other preparation and cooking instructions are the same.

This is my new favorite side dish. Thank you so much for the recipe. I also make a variation with italian seasoning and parmesean cheese. I like to sprinkle a few black or kalamatta olives over the top when serving.
So happy to hear you are enjoying it and I like your variations for the recipe too!
Where on earth did you get those carb counts!!
Sorry I missed this comment. I moved my site to a new web host, and the site was up but I just realized today that no comments were coming to my e-mail for NINE DAYS, yikes.
I think you are reading it wrong. The number of carbs comes AFTER the word CARBOHYDRATES, so 10 grams of carbs.
Outstanding!!! Â Love the depth of flavour! Â I added mushrooms, sun dried tomato and some kale.
This would also make a great vegetarian dish with the addition of chickpeas or white beans.
So glad you enjoyed it! I like your creative additions.
This recipe was fabulous and so yummy! Thanks for sharing.
So glad you liked it!
Delicious recipe! I added a T of dried parsley and served it with lamb burgers and Greek salad for a dinner party. Everyone loved it. Will make again.Â
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking time to let me know!
Just enter “cauliflower rice” into the search bar. You will see all the different recipes I have; quite a few others.
I'm totally in favor of people substituting in ingredients that they like!
This looks great! I think I may sub kalamatas for the red pepper. I'm just not a pepper fan! Or maybe sun dried tomatoes?!
Thanks Elizabeth; hope you enjoy it!
This sounds amazing! I can't wait to give it a try!
This looks absolutely delicious and could easily be converted to be vegetarian (as well as naturally being gluten-free). YUM! Thanks for the inspiration!

Abbey, glad you liked it, and I love the idea of adding a bit of soy sauce. That set my mind racing thinking of more casserole ideas!
Tried this last night with some red peppers and onions that I had left over from a stir fry, loved it! At the suggestion of my husband, I added a few tablespoons of soy sauce. What a great use for leftovers!
I’m not a huge rice lover but with a little extra feta cheese this sounds like a great side dish.
Mrs. D, perfect side dish for those Greek dishes, thanks for sharing that idea.
Thanks to all for the casserole feedback too!
I made this last nite for dinner as a side for Greek Meatballs and Tzsacki sauce (another KK favorite recipe) My husband, who is not a big fan of casseroles, LOVED IT!
It was very good- easy to make and healthy. Thx Kaylyn for yet another delicious recipe. This one is a keeper
Casseroles are great! And this one sounds fantastic! 🙂
I don’t think I ever made any casserole dish… But this one might just make me make the first one ever! Looks delicious!
