Cheesy Garlic Cauliflower Mock Breadsticks Low Carb Food

CHEESY LOW CARB CAULIFLOWER BREADSTICKS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 10 minutes (or steam on the stove), until softened. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• While the cauliflower is cooling, pulse the hemp seeds in a food processor, until smooth.
• Add the eggs, garlic, sea salt and black pepper. Process again until smooth.
• When the cauliflower is cool enough to handle, transfer it to a tea towel and squeeze tightly several times to drain as much water as possible. You should get close to a cup of moisture out.
• Add the drained riced cauliflower to the food processor. Process until smooth.
• Transfer the "dough" onto the lined baking sheet. Spread into a rectangle, about 1/3 inch thick. (Mine turned out to be 12x8 in (31x20 cm), but the size will vary depending on the size of your cauliflower head - the thickness is the important part.)
• Bake for 13-18 minutes, until the top is firm and starting to get golden.
• Brush the top with melted butter. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top, then bake for 5-10 more minutes, until the cheese is melted. If desired, you can place under the broiler to brown the cheese.
• Cool slightly, then cut lengthwise in half, and then cross-wise into 1-inch wide strips, to form 24 breadstick shaped rectangles total.

Steps:

• In food processor, combine the flour, salt, cayenne and baking powder.
• Pulse several times to mix.
• Add the butter and cheese, then pulse for about 30 seconds, or until the ingredients are well mixed (it should resemble slightly moist flour).
• Add the sour cream and pulse on and off for about 1 minute, or until the ingredients come together as a moist, doughy clump.
• Remove the dough from the food processor, form into a ball, then cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or coat it with cooking spray.
• On a lightly floured counter, roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 1/8-inch thick.
• Trim the edges to create a neat rectangle.
• Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips 6 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide.
• Combine the scraps and repeat with remaining dough to make about 18-24 sticks.
• Gently twist each strip to create a spiral, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and coat with cooking spray.
• Add the cauliflower and garlic to a food processor and pulse until finely ground and the consistency of couscous. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a large bowl. Add the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes if using, eggs, 1 cup Cheddar, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and combine until the mixture holds together when squeezed.
• Spread the cauliflower mixture into an 8-by-12-inch rectangle about a 1/4 inch thick on the prepared baking sheet. Use the straight edge of the parchment as your guide to keep the cauliflower mixture edges straight too. Bake until the crust turns golden brown all over, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and lay another piece of parchment on top of the crust. Fit a second rimmed baking sheet on top so the bottom of the baking sheet is touching the parchment. Using oven mitts, hold the 2 baking sheets together and flip them over so the crust is now on the parchment on the upside-down baking sheet. Remove the first parchment from the crust, cut the crust into 1 1/2-inch-thick strips (you should have 8 to 9 strips) and spread them apart a little. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Cheddar and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Bake on the upside-down baking sheet until the cheese is melted and turning brown in spots and the visible crust is a deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the sticks on the parchment to a serving plate and serve with the marinara sauce for dipping.
