Notes
- Be sure to check the ingredients for the banana peppers for compliant ingredients. I love buying mine through Thrive Market, which is compliant for the Whole30 program.
- You can add in the cauliflower rice in frozen or raw. You do NOT have to cook it before adding it to the oven.
- This will last in the fridge up to one week and in the freezer for 3 months.
