Let’s Make Those Breadsticks!
Making these yummy cauliflower breadsticks at home is super easy! You’re going to love it! With less than 30 minutes of prep time, you’ll have a healthy and delicious snack baking away! While they’re in the oven you can even throw together some homemade marinara. It’s the perfect combo!
Steaming: If using fresh cauliflower, prepare a pot of boiling water. Next, cut your cauliflower into florets and place them in a steamer basket over the boiling water. Cover and steam for 5 minutes until the florets are fork-tender.Microwaving: Alternatively, the cauliflower can be steamed in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl with a little water in the bottom for 5 minutes. Once cooked, place the steamed florets in a food processor and pulse for 10-15 seconds until you get a nice riced consistency.
Squeeze Out Water: Cauliflower naturally has a very high water content. Be sure not to skip the step where you squeeze out excess water! This makes all the difference between soggy and golden, tender breadsticks.Don’t Overcook: Whether you’re preparing premade riced cauliflower or making your own, be sure not to overcook it. Only steam or microwave it as directed. Any longer and your cauliflower will get mushy.Serve With Dip: These cauliflower breadsticks are perfectly dippable! I always love serving them with some classic marinara, but homemade alfredo or even cheese sauce are amazing options, as well! For a more health-conscious choice, you can serve them up with cauliflower alfredo for dipping! Who knew you could make so many amazing things with this vegetable?!
In the Refrigerator: Wrap your breadsticks in plastic wrap and store for up to 3 days.In the Freezer: Your cauliflower breadsticks will last for up to 3 months wrapped in plastic wrap or stored in freezer bags. Let thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.Reheating: To keep your breadsticks from getting soggy, I recommend reheating them either in the oven or air fryer. A few minutes in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit will do the trick. You can also pop them in the air fryer at 400 degrees for a minute or two, as well. Enjoy!
