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 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.
