I've seen this recipe floating around on the internet for cauliflower cheese sticks and cauliflower pizza dough so I tried my hand at making cheese sticks for starters. Yet another wonderful Pinterest recipe with my own twist that I will be making on a regular basis now! Delish!

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 375°F.
2

Clean and remove cauliflower leaves and core. Cut into small chunks.
3

Place cauliflower chunks into a food processor. Pulse until you get a "rice" consistency. You can also grate the cauliflower to get the same effect if you dont have a food processor.
4

Put the cauliflower rice into a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
5

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.
6

In a large bowl, place a kitchen towel or cheese cloth to ring out excess liquid from cauliflower.
7

Put cooked cauliflower into the bowl with the kitchen towel and ring out as much water as you can.
8

Increase your oven temperature to 450°F.
9

In a large bowl, mix the ringed out cauliflower, egg whites, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and cheese.
10

Spread this cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and form it into a rectangle with about 1/4-1/2 thickness.
11

Bake the cauliflower for about 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and add the remaining cheese for the topping. Sprinkle with garlic salt and a bit more Italian seasoning. Return to oven and bake for another 5 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
12

Once cooled, cut cauliflower into sticks and serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
