Low Carb Cheesy Cauliflower Breadsticks

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

1 small cauliflower

1 tsp olive oil

5 cloves garlic, (minced)

2 eggs, (lightly beaten)

3/4 tsp Italian herb blend seasonig

1/2 tsp onion powder

salt and pepper (to taste)

8 oz shredded mozzarella ((divided))

8 pepperoni slices

Garnish: chili pepper flakes + parsley

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13" baking pan with parchment paper.

Use a cheese grater to grate your cauliflower florets. Transfer the shreds to a large skillet and saute for 5 minutes, flipping occasionally. We want the water to evaporate but not brown the vegetable - keep the heat on medium. Transfer the shreds to a cloth to wring out any excess liquids still left in the vegetable.

In a small skillet, add the oil and heat on medium. Add in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until fragrant.

In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, garlic, eggs, dried herbs, onion powder, salt and pepper to taste and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish and flatten out evenly. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove and flip it over onto another slightly larger baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and top with the remaining mozzarella and your pepperoni. Broil until the cheese turns golden brown and bubbly.
