Cheesy Cauliflower Breadsticks

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min. YIELD: 12 servings.
These grain-free, cheesy cauliflower breadsticks are made with vegetables instead of flour. Serve them with your favorite marinara sauce.—Nick Iverson, Denver, Colorado

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets (about 6 cups)
  • 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Marinara sauce, optional

Directions

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix cheeses together. Stir half of the cheese mixture into cauliflower; reserve remaining cheese mixture. Combine next 6 ingredients; stir into cauliflower.
  • 3. On a baking sheet lined with parchment, shape cauliflower mixture into an 11x9-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.
