I keep hearing my friends say they have gluten intolerance, so I wanted to share this enhanced version of my Cauliflower Veggie Pizza sticks. This recipe will make you feel like you are not missing the bread and also Cauliflower is a low carb veggie. Yay Me!!
Ingredients:
Pizza Crust
1 1/2 cups grated cauliflower
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cloves garlic, grated or minced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
4 1/2 oz white sharp cheddar, freshly grated and divided
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup for topping
1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning, divided
sea salt
pepper
Ingredients:
For Sautéed Veggies
11/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup zucchini, chopped, small
1 cup yellow squash, chopped, small
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped, small
1/4 cup grated parmesan for garnish
freshly chopped basil for garnish
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Grate the cauliflower, using a cheese grater or a food processor. Put the grated cauliflower onto two pieces of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Place in the oven and roast for about 7-10 minutes, spread it out so it doesn’t steam. Add the roasted cauliflower into a large bowl. Keep the oven on and remove all the cauliflower from the sheet and spray the sheet with the olive oil and set aside.
Add the garlic, egg, 4 oz of the cheese, 1/2 cup of the vegetarian parmesan cheese (Belgioioso, sells a vegetarian parmesan) 1/2 teaspoon of the dried Italian herb seasoning (reserving 1/2 teaspoon for topping later), and a pinch of sea salt and pepper. Stir to combine and then spread on a sheet pan forming it into a pizza crust.
Bake until set and starting to turn golden, about 25- 30 minutes.
Preheat the broiler. Cut the crust into sticks. Slightly separate the pieces and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top along with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning. Broil a minute or two, until the cheese is melted and golden in spots. Add sautéed veggies and more parmesan cheese if you like. Serve hot or warm.
Directions for Veggies: Add oil to a pan on medium heat and sauté the veggies until slightly tender, top on your pizza crust with garnishes.
Enjoy and Set the Table with Love!
This looks so yummy!!
Thank you so much.
Does microwaving the cauliflower diminish the nutrition of the veggie?
Yes. I am editing it to roasting. Thanks Rachel. You just want to make sure the water is all out.
I used mozzarella cheese instead of what the recipe called for. It still turned out beautifully! My family loved the pizza. It was different for them, I will be making this from NOW ON! Cannot do bread so very happy lady!!
Thank you!!
That’s Awesome!
