This combination makes a perfect light lunch or dinner, and it doesn't take too much time to make. While the carrots are frying in the oven, the rest of the meal can be prepared, and everything will be done and warm to serve at the same time. During the summer it usually feels nice to enjoy some lighter meals that don't call for a nap afterwards since there is a lot going on. Also, it's good to be able to make a dinner with only a few, cheap ingredients that you can get in any type of store.Cauliflower rice and carrot fries with hummus (2 people):

Bake them in the oven for about 20 minutes on the hot air function. In the meantime, make the yummi hummus.

Wok them in some good olive oil or coconut oil and sprinkle with paprika, salt and pepper. For the cauliflower rice, wash and divide the cauliflower into smaller pieces before you put it into the food processor and run it until it resembles a rice texture.
