Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray, or use a silicone baking mat.
  • Cut the cauliflower florets from the stem. Place florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice. Be careful not to overprocess into a puree.

  • Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 4 minutes.
  • Pour the microwaved cauliflower onto a kitchen towel or paper towels and wring out as much moisture as possible. The drier, the better.
  • In a bowl, combine the dried cauliflower with basil, oregano, garlic salt, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and egg. Mix well.
