These grain-free, cheesy cauliflower breadsticks are made with vegetables instead of flour. Serve with your favorite marinara sauce.—Nick Iverson, Denver, Colorado
1 medium head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets (about 6 cups)
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 large egg
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Marinara sauce, optional
Directions
Preheat oven to 425°. Process cauliflower in batches in a food processor until finely ground. Microwave, covered, in a microwave-safe bowl on high until tender, about 8 minutes. When cauliflower is cool enough to handle, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze dry. Return to bowl.
Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix cheeses together. Stir half of cheese mixture into cauliflower, reserving remainder. Combine next six ingredients; stir into cauliflower.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shape cauliflower mixture into an 11x9-in. rectangle. Bake until edges are golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Top with reserved cheese; bake until melted and bubbly, 10-12 minutes. Cut into 12 breadsticks. If desired, serve with marinara sauce.
Test Kitchen tips
As long as you line your pan with parchment, these breadsticks can be made in any shape you like. A round pizza pan works nicely as well.
Customize to your heart's desire by adding toppings such as pepperoni, mushrooms and olives before baking.

First time I made it didn't stay together. You have to make sure you really squeeze out as much water out of the cauliflower as possible. I also added 3 to 4 TB of almond flour to absorb more moisture and the crust turned out perfectly.

Highly recommend if you are on a low carb diet. We are not and my husband didn't really care for them (doesn't taste exactly like bread!), so not worth the work for my family but still a great recipe for the right crowd.
