Ingredients You’ll Need

Plain Riced Cauliflower: Helps reinforce texture and adds volume without increasing the carb count.

Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Adds a sharp, savory kick and balances the subtle cauliflower flavor.

Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: Provides that classic cheesy melt and stretch we all love in garlic bread.

Large Eggs: Act as the glue, keeping the breadsticks firm and cohesive.

Chopped Oregano: Optional, but brings a fresh herbal note that complements the garlic and cheese.

Salt and Pepper: These essentials bring out the full flavor of every bite.

How to Make Cheesy Keto Cauliflower Garlic Breadsticks

Start by thawing both the riced cauliflower and the sweet potato blend. This allows you to properly drain the moisture, which is crucial for creating firm breadsticks. Excess water leads to a soft, less structured final product.

Once thawed, place the mixture into a clean dish towel and squeeze tightly to eliminate as much liquid as possible. When you’ve finished draining, mix the riced vegetables with the cheddar cheese, half the mozzarella, eggs, herbs, and seasoning in a bowl until fully incorporated.

Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it into a thin rectangle. Bake until the top is lightly browned, then flip and cover with the remaining mozzarella. Bake again until the bottom is crisp and the cheese has melted.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Defrost the Riced Cauliflower Mixes
   Allow both bags to fully thaw in the fridge so you can effectively press out the moisture.
2. Extract Moisture
   Wrap the thawed contents in a kitchen towel and squeeze until the mix feels dry.
3. Combine All Ingredients
   Mix the drained cauliflower blend with cheddar, ½ cup of mozzarella, eggs, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
4. Form on Baking Sheet
   Spread the mixture into a rectangle on a parchment-lined baking tray and flatten evenly.
5. Bake First Side
   Preheat your oven to 400°F and bake for 20 minutes or until firm and golden on top.
6. Flip and Add Cheese
   Gently flip the breadsticks. Top with the remaining mozzarella.
7. Finish Baking
   Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the bottom is lightly browned.
8. Cool and Cut
   Let the breadsticks sit for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Helpful Tips

Use a cloth towel instead of paper to drain moisture. It holds more liquid and won’t tear.

Flipping ensures the bottom gets evenly baked and avoids soggy spots.

Letting the breadsticks rest briefly after baking helps them slice more cleanly.

Always use parchment to keep the mixture from sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

A quick broil during the final minutes adds crispiness and color.

Notes

You can swap the sweet potato blend for all cauliflower if needed, and just mix in a spoonful of mashed sweet potato for similar taste and color.
