Cheesy Cauliflower Breadsticks Recipes

Steps:

• 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 6 ingredients; stir into cauliflower., On a baking sheet lined with parchment, 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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and coat with cooking spray.
• Add the cauliflower and garlic to a food processor and pulse until finely ground and the consistency of couscous. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a large bowl. Add the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes if using, eggs, 1 cup Cheddar, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and combine until the mixture holds together when squeezed.
• Spread the cauliflower mixture into an 8-by-12-inch rectangle about a 1/4 inch thick on the prepared baking sheet. Use the straight edge of the parchment as your guide to keep the cauliflower mixture edges straight too. Bake until the crust turns golden brown all over, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and lay another piece of parchment on top of the crust. Fit a second rimmed baking sheet on top so the bottom of the baking sheet is touching the parchment. Using oven mitts, hold the 2 baking sheets together and flip them over so the crust is now on the parchment on the upside-down baking sheet. Remove the first parchment from the crust, cut the crust into 1 1/2-inch-thick strips (you should have 8 to 9 strips) and spread them apart a little. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Cheddar and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Bake on the upside-down baking sheet until the cheese is melted and turning brown in spots and the visible crust is a deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the sticks on the parchment to a serving plate and serve with the marinara sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat over to 400*.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the first five ingredients; set aside.
• Divide dough into 16 pieces; roll each into a 6-in. rope.
• Dip the ropes in butter, than roll in cheese mixture.
• Place 2-in. apart on greased baking sheet.
• Let rest for 10 minutes.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• In food processor, combine the flour, salt, cayenne and baking powder.
• Pulse several times to mix.
• Add the butter and cheese, then pulse for about 30 seconds, or until the ingredients are well mixed (it should resemble slightly moist flour).
• Add the sour cream and pulse on and off for about 1 minute, or until the ingredients come together as a moist, doughy clump.
• Remove the dough from the food processor, form into a ball, then cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or coat it with cooking spray.
• On a lightly floured counter, roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 1/8-inch thick.
• Trim the edges to create a neat rectangle.
• Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips 6 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide.
• Combine the scraps and repeat with remaining dough to make about 18-24 sticks.
• Gently twist each strip to create a spiral, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned.
