Cauliflower "Bread"

This is a recipe I found on Facebook and wanted to add to my Pinterest board, however since we can't "pin" from Facebook, I had to add the recipe here so I don't lose it. As it is, I had shared this week, thinking I'd be able to find it on my Timeline, but when I tried to find it, it was impossible to find, lucky for me, hubby had added a comment to it, so in looking through my notifications, I was able to find it!! Yeaaaaaaaaa! So here it is folks:



Cauliflower 'Bread' Sticks

Ingredients:

1 head of Cauliflower
1/2 cup shredded Cheese
2 Eggs, beaten
1 tsp dried Parsley or Oregano or Basil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
Onion powder, Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. Cut up Cauliflower and steam till soft.. put on a tea towel and blot, try to get as 'dry' as possible.
3. Put in food processor or blend till it's mashed potato texture.
4. In medium bowl stir Cauliflower, Eggs, Cheese, Garlic & Seasonings
5. Lightly spray baking pan and pat the mixture out.
6. Bake at 450 for 15-20 minutes or until top starts to brown

Cut into bread sticks

The kicker in this recipe is that it's low carbs and low in fat (as long as you don't use a cheese that is high in fat content) but high in fibre. And it's gluten and grain free. For those, (like me) who love bread, but had to give it up because it's too fattening, it's a great substitute.

I haven't yet tried it, but I will tomorrow night for sure :)
Enjoy!!
