Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
To prepare the cauliflower: Core the cauliflower and cut off the florets. Using a food processor, work in batches and pulse the florets several times until the cauliflower reaches a coarse crumb consistency
Place the cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture. There will be about ⅓ cup of liquid to squeeze out.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg whites, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and ¼ cup of the cheese. Mix together with a rubber spatula until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the “dough” to the prepared baking sheet and using a rubber spatula, press the "dough" out into an 8x11-inch rectangle about a quarter-inch thick.
Top with the remaining ¼ cup of cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes.
While the “breadsticks" are baking, prepare the marinara dipping sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine all of the sauce ingredients together.
