Recipe: Cauliflower ‘Breadsticks’ with Marinara Sauce

Ingredients

Crust:
• 1 head cauliflower
• 2 egg whites, beaten
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• pinch black pepper
• ½ Sargento® Artisan Blends® Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Marinara Sauce:
• 6-ounce can tomato paste
• ½ cup water
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• pinch black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
2. To prepare the cauliflower: Core the cauliflower and cut off the florets. Using a food processor, work in batches and pulse the florets several times until the cauliflower reaches a coarse crumb consistency.
3. Place the cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture. There will be about ⅓ cup of liquid to squeeze out.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg whites, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and ¼ cup of the cheese. Mix together with a rubber spatula until thoroughly combined.
5. Transfer the “dough” to the prepared baking sheet and press out into an 8x11-inch rectangle about a quarter-inch thick using a rubber spatula.
6. Top with the remaining ¼ cup of cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes.
7. While the “breadsticks" are baking, prepare the marinara dipping sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine all of the sauce ingredients together.
