Recipe Notes
Serving size: 4 small breadsticks (4 inches long, 1 inch wide), or 1/6 entire recipe
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower (riced using a grater or food processor)
- 1/2 cup Hemp seeds
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3/4 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Butter (melted)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 10 minutes (or steam on the stove), until softened. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- While the cauliflower is cooling, pulse the hemp seeds in a food processor, until smooth.
- Add the eggs, garlic, sea salt and black pepper. Process again until smooth.
- When the cauliflower is cool enough to handle, transfer it to a tea towel and squeeze tightly several times to drain as much water as possible. You should get close to a cup of moisture out.
- Add the drained riced cauliflower to the food processor. Process until smooth.
- Transfer the "dough" onto the lined baking sheet. Spread into a rectangle, about 1/3 inch thick. (Mine turned out to be 12x8 in (31x20 cm), but the size will vary depending on the size of your cauliflower head - the thickness is the important part.)
- Bake for 13-18 minutes, until the top is firm and starting to get golden.
- Brush the top with melted butter. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top, then bake for 5-10 more minutes, until the cheese is melted. If desired, you can place under the broiler to brown the cheese.
- Cool slightly, then cut lengthwise in half, and then cross-wise into 1-inch wide strips, to form 24 breadstick shaped rectangles total.
