Ingredients

For the breadsticks:

1 medium head cauliflower
½ cup shredded mozzarella
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs beaten
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

For topping:

3 tablespoons melted butter
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup shredded mozzarella
Parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

Chop the cauliflower into florets and add to the bowl of a food processor. Process until you have small rice like pieces.
Steam, boil, or microwave cauliflower until very tender, about 5 minutes.
Let the cauliflower cool for 20 minutes and then dump into a clean tea towel. While cauliflower is cooling, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Fold the towel up over the cauliflower and squeeze out any excess moisture. Keep squeezing until no liquid is left in the cauliflower. See notes.
Transfer cauliflower to a mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients for the crust. Stir well to combine.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and press the dough out to form a 10x6 inch rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
Stir together the butter, garlic, onion powder, and garlic powder to make the topping. Brush it over the top of the breadsticks.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and top with the cheese and bake for 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Broil to brown the cheese on top, if preferred.
Sprinkle with parsley and allow to cool 5 minutes.
Slice into 8 breadsticks and serve.

Notes

Removing as much liquid from the cauliflower as possible is very important or your breadsticks will not turn out properly. Keep squeezing out the moisture until the cauliflower looks dry.
