HEALTH BENEFITS
This veggie-packed one sheet meal is full of protein and nutrients! Kale is one of the world's best sources of Vitamin K, which helps with bone health and wound healing. Cauliflower is very low in calories yet high in vitamins, which makes it nutrient-dense. The fiber in cauliflower rice helps feed the healthy bacteria in our gut, reducing inflammation and promoting digestive health.
HEALTHY ONE-PAN WONDERS FOR THOSE CRAZY WEEKNIGHTS
Sheet Pan Fajita Bowls are an amazing way to get a healthy one-pan wonder that takes almost no time to prepare, which makes them perfect for busy weeknights. Do you have a big family, no problem! Just do two sheet pans!
ONE BOWL, TWO SHEET PANS, EASY CLEAN-UP
We purposely created this recipe for easy prep and easy cleanup. All you will need for this recipe is a sharp knife, cutting board, large mixing bowl, and two sheet pans.
HOW TO PREP
To simplify a busy night you can prep your veggies and chicken early in the week for an even simpler meal. Just make sure you cut your onions a little smaller than your peppers to ensure that everything is done cooking at the same time.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a medium sized bowl, add cauliflower rice, avocado oil, cumin and toss to combine. Spread evenly on a half sheet pan.
In the same bowl combine the sliced peppers, onions, avocado oil, cumin, and toss to combine. Spread evenly on the other half sheet pan.
Bake in the oven for for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Meanwhile, wash, chop, and prepare the kale. In the same bowl, toss kale with a drizzle of oil and pinch of salt. With 5 minutes remaining make room on the same sheet pan as cauliflower rice and add kale to lightly roast.
Remove from the oven and assemble bowls using cauliflower rice as the base. From there top with veggies, pre-made chicken and your favorite toppings and sauce.
PREPARE YOUR SAUCE.

This versatile sauce is a flavorful topping for roasted veggies, meats or as a salad dressing. Herbs are the star in this sauce and bring color, brightness and nutritional benefits to whichever dish you choose to pair it with.
TOPPINGS
Some of our favorite toppings are sliced avocados or guacamole, pico de gallo, freshly grated cheese, sour cream and cilantro. I also love this on our Paleo Almond Flour Tortilla recipe that you can find HERE
