A new way to eat cauliflower!
Serves 5
Ingredients
1 medium head cauliflower*, cut into pieces
3 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese*
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg*, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Place cauliflower pieces in a food processor or blender and pulse until a “rice” consistency, or chop into very small pieces (about the size of a grain of rice) with a knife.
In a large saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add riced cauliflower and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
Put cauliflower into a large mixing bowl and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Add 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, lightly beaten egg, oregano, basil and garlic salt (or garlic powder and regular salt) to the cauliflower. Stir well to combine.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil oiled with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Spoon the cauliflower mixture onto the baking sheet and use your hands to form it into an 8 1/2 x 11-inch rectangle.
Bake for 30 minutes or until it's golden brown and firm.
Remove from the oven and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Put baking sheet back into the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Cut into sticks and serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
