This flavorful, grain-free Passover coconut ginger carrot rice is a great side dish to serve during the Holiday and all year long. Vegan and gluten-free.

Passover is the time a year where we really, REALLY have to rack our brains to come up with tasty, sort of unique recipes that go beyond eggs, potatoes and matzah ball soup. For those of you not familiar with the dietary restrictions that come with this holiday, they mainly include: wheat, barley, rye, oats or spelt ( as well as any products made with these grains), legumes (beans, lentils, peas, and peanuts), and in most Orthodox Jewish American households, also rice, corn, mustard and sesame seeds.

So, as you can see, the options are pretty limited. Especially, if you are vegan or vegetarian.

Over the past 5 years, we’ve come up with a lot of recipes that our friends and family loved. From several granola recipes for breakfast to colorful, tasty sides, fun appetizers and delicious desserts .

Last year we made a super easy cauliflower fried rice that has become one of our most viewed recipes. This year we’re switching it up a little bit, by using homemade carrot rice instead. Tossed with toasted coconut, ginger, and parsley, this delicious dish is:

• Low carb
• Low calorie
• Gluten-Free
• Vegan
• Paleo

Enjoy!
