Cheesy Cauliflower Breadsticks
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 large head cauliflower1/4 cup egg whites or 1 large egg1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided1 teaspoon Italian seasoning1/4 teaspoon black pepper1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
1. Wash and clean cauliflower and cut into florets. With the help of a food processor, shred cauliflower until it forms a rice like texture. Be careful not to over process the cauliflower or it turns to mush. It's fine if a couple of bigger chunks remain.
2. Put cauliflower into a baking dish (like a casserole dish) and bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes or until safe to handle.
3. Place roasted cauliflower in the middle of a tea towel, fold it by the ends and form a ball. Now squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can. Approximately 1-1 1/2 cups or until it becomes too hard to squeeze out more.
4. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Place cauliflower along with egg whites, 1/2 cup shredded cheese, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir until well combined.
5. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a rectangle or circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Place in the oven and bake for 18 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and sides start to turn golden and crispy. Cut into breadsticks and serve with marinara sauce.
