Cauliflower Breadsticks

To be honest I was a little skeptical as to whether this was a viable thing, after all you see these recipes on pinterest and you wonder if its actually going to work or end up looking like something from nailed it and be a complete flop.

I had made homemade chili and thought this would be a good time to try them after all it isn't an entree so if it failed we still had the chili.

This was the recipe I followed

1 head of cauliflower, I used a bag of riced cauliflower which it said was also an option
2 eggs
cheese, I mean who really follows the amounts when it comes to shredded cheese, basically you need some to mix in and some to top it with, so about a cup and a half .
1 tsp of Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp black pepper
pinch of salt
Marinara sauce for dipping

So cut up the cauliflower and separate into florets and put into a processor to rice it up, or if using riced cauliflower, place either into a ovenproof  dish and bake for 20 minutes on 375

Once that's done take out of the oven and let it cool a little, put the cauliflower into a tea/linen towel and twist so that all the liquid is squeezed out

Increase oven temp to 450

Once all the liquid is squeezed out, put it in a bowl and ad the eggs, half the cheese, seasonings and mix together.

Transfer this mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, I would also spray the paper.
shape with your hands, flatten into a rectangle but not too thin about 1/4 inch thick.

Bake for 18 minutes, remove from oven and top with remaining cheese, bake for a further 5 minutes until the cheese is browning and melty.

Cut into bread sticks, I used a pizza cutter. and serve with marinara.

If you want a lighter version do not top with cheese.

My only problem with this recipe was that mine stuck to the paper which is why I suggest spraying the paper first.

It doesn't make a whole lot so if making for more than 2 I suggest doubling the recipe.

But despite the sticking, it has a great texture and very bread like, with good flavor. could easily be made into more baguette like shapes also.
