Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower (about 2 pounds)
- 1 large egg or 2 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar Jack cheese, divided
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- Marinara sauce for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Place them in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is finely chopped and looks like rice.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a microwave-safe dish or bowl. Cover and cook in the microwave for 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can steam the cauliflower in a steamer basket or bake it in the oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
- When the cauliflower is cool, transfer it to a bowl lined with a kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Bring the ends of the cloth together and squeeze as much liquid out of the cauliflower as you can. I got about ½ cup liquid.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a mixing bowl and add the egg, Italian seasoning, ½ cup cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Form the dough into a rectangle about 8 x 12 inches and ¼-inch thick.
- Bake in the oven 15-20 minutes until cooked. Remove the baking sheet and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese over the top. Bake another 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Cut cheesy bread into 16 breadsticks. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Be sure to squeeze out as much liquid as you can from the riced cauliflower before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help the cauliflower bread crisp up and prevent it from getting soggy.
- To save time, you can buy a bag of frozen riced cauliflower from the grocery store instead of chopping up a head of cauliflower.
- Instead of cutting the cauliflower bread into breadsticks, you can also cut it into bigger pieces and use it for sandwiches and other dishes.
