Cheesy Cauliflower Breadsticks

Cheesy Cauliflower Breadsticks sound so yummy. I was searching for a Keto friendly recipe to go with my Keto Lifestyle products page and I came across this one from tasteofhome.com. Just think of the ooey, gooey, melty cheese with a small crunch of the crust. Although, you could even have it if you aren’t dieting. I’d like to share it with you as I will be adding it to my dinner rotation. ENJOY!!!

Cheesy Cauliflower Breadsticks

Preheat oven to 425°. Process cauliflower in batches in a food processor until finely ground. Microwave, covered, in a microwave-safe bowl on high until tender, about 8 minutes. When cauliflower is cool enough to handle, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze dry. Return to bowl.

Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix cheeses together. Stir half of cheese mixture into cauliflower, reserving remainder. Next, combine next six ingredients; stir into cauliflower.

On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shape cauliflower mixture into an 11×9-in. rectangle. Bake until edges are golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Top with reserved cheese; bake until melted and bubbly, 10-12 minutes. Cut into 12 breadsticks. If desired, serve with marinara sauce.

  • As long as you line your pan with parchment paper, these breadsticks can be made in any shape you like. A round pizza pan works nicely as well.
  • Customize to your heart’s desire by adding toppings such as pepperoni, mushrooms and olives before baking.
