Cheesy Low Carb Cauliflower Breadsticks Food

LOW CARB CAULIFLOWER BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Rice the cauliflower by coring the head and then cutting it into florets. Then place it in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until it is the texture of rice. (If your cauliflower seems excessively moist, squeeze the riced cauliflower in a paper towel to help remove moisture.)
• In a large bowl, mix the riced cauliflower, 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper until combined and holds together.
• Place the cauliflower mixture onto your prepared baking sheet. Spread it out into a rectangle that's about 9-inches x 7-inches and 1/4-inch thick.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and top with 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and return to oven to continue baking until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
• Cool about 10 minutes and cut into 'breadsticks'. Garnish with fresh herbs and more Parmesan cheese. Serve with your favorite red sauce and enjoy!

CHEESY KETO CAULIFLOWER BREAD STICKS

Steps:

• Remove the base or leaves and cut cauliflower into florets. Rice cauliflower by using a food processor. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, you can use a microwave or a toaster oven. Allow to cool.
• Pre-heat oven at 450F.
• Once riced cauliflower has cooled, place in a kitchen towel and strain the liquid. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Season cauliflower with sage, oregano, thyme and mustard seed. Mix well.
• Season egg with ground black pepper. Pour beaten egg, 3 tablespoon cheese and combine with seasoned cauliflower. Allow for eggs to set at the bottom of the bowl and spoon the excess eggs out.
• In a greased baking sheet, spread cauliflower until about 1/4 inch thick, rectagular shape.
• For the heart-shaped Cauliflower "Bread" Sticks, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter. 1/2 cup of cauliflower mixture makes about 9 heart-shaped in different sizes. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes. Top with 1/2 cup cheese and bake in the oven for 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.
• For the remaining 1 cup of cauliflower mixture formed into a rectagular shape, bake for about 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 5 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden in color.
• Cool for about 2 to 3 minutes and slice with a pizza cutter.
• Garnish with freshly minced parsley. Serve with marinara sauce or with a Creamy Cheese Sauce (see note).

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.
