Pinterest and Gluten Free blogs have been filled with Cauliflower pizza crusts and cheese stick recipes lately. I decided this was the week to try them myself. I was hoping it would be a fun way to get the kiddos to eat more veggies. For my version I combined these two recipes and made a few changes. Two out of the three kids ate them so I call that a success! The grownups were also big fans of them.
What You Need:
1/2 a head of fresh cauliflower grated with a cheese grater
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp EVOO
1/2 tsp Love spice – Virtuous Living
1 egg
salt and pepper
EVOO
1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese
How to Make It:
Use a cheese grater to grate the cauliflower. I found this to be messy but fun!
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Put grated cauliflower in a bowl and microwave for five minutes. Once cooked combine the rest of the ingredients in the bowl.
Spread the mixture on a greased parchment paper over a baking sheet. Using a fork form your desired shape, I went with a rectangle.
Bake for 15 minutes and turn over. Drizzle with more EVOO and remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 5 more minutes.
Serve with GF red pasta sauce.
These were surprisingly awesome! They held up well to dipping and kids hands. The flavor was very rich and the texture was like bread. Beside the cauliflower smell while it cooked in the microwave you would not know this was cauliflower! This is a dish that really surprised me. I look forward to making more cauliflower cheese sticks and making some pizza crust with this recipe!
Enjoy!
