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.
