Heat the oil in a large skillet over MEDIUM heat. Add the carrots and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, or until fork tender. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute.
Add the frozen cauliflower rice, frozen peas, seasoned salt, onion powder, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until the cauliflower rice and peas are thawed and warmed through. Stir in the parsley and serve.
