Ingredients

For the Crust
  • 20 oz frozen cauliflower rice I use the brand Bird’s Eye
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese mix
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
For the Topping
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese mix
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz can of marinara sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. If you use frozen, riced cauliflower, thaw it in the microwave until it is no longer frozen. It doesn’t need to be cooked, just thawed.
  3. Using a cheesecloth, squeeze as much water out of the cauliflower as possible. If you don’t have a cheesecloth use a thin kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is crucial, get as much water out as you can.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together the cauliflower, 2 beaten eggs, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, ¼ cup mozzarella and provolone cheese mix, and 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning.
  5. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spray with oil. Press the cauliflower mix onto the pan with your hands until it is about ¼ of an inch thick. Bake for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and add 1 cup of mozzarella and provolone cheese mix and ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese to the top.
  7. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese has browned.
  8. Cut into 1 inch thick slices. It will make around 16 cheese sticks.
  9. Serve with a side of marinara sauce. You can make this fresh if you please, but canned is just fine.
Storage
