CHEESY CAULIFLOWER BREADSTICKS – KETO AND GLUTEN FREE
Using the same idea as pizza crust, it’s easy to make a low carb cheesy cauliflower breadsticks recipe instead. Simply leave out the pizza sauce!
I’m always amazed by all the fantastic things you can do with cauliflower. It’s a staple ingredient on low carb and goes way beyond a potato substitute.
When I got started on this way of life, I discovered that cauliflower can make a fantastic pizza crust. As the years went on, I also experimented with using it in chocolate pudding and pie crust.
I’ve also seen others sneak this versatile vegetable into pumpkin pie because it’s a terrific thickening agent. Because of this property, it’s often used to thicken soups as well.
But, I’ve gone back to the basic pizza crust recipe to make a low carb cheesy cauliflower breadsticks recipe. And, you don’t have to limit yourself with the standard rectangular sticks.
Using the same idea as cauliflower pizza crust, it's easy to make low carb cheesy breadsticks recipe instead. Simply leave out the pizza sauce!

- 1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
- ground black pepper to taste
