Cauliflower Garlic Bread

Submitted by Bonnie G #2

"Saw this recipe on FB and a lower carb version of garlic bread and in my search to attempt healthier eating and the struggle to get veggies into my husband decided to try it. It was pretty easy and a nice fast bread when you need to get something ready in a hurry. Certainly NOT up to your regular garlic bread it was nice and I believe healthier. However; the background flavor of cauliflower was still there and I'd cut it back to half of whats called for. If I make it again I would leave out the cauliflower completely and believer then it'd be a nice addition to dinner. but I've posted here exaclty as I found it so anyone can make the decision as the want."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 1 loaf
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 3 cups riced cauliflower
• 6 eggs, separated
• 1 1⁄4 cups almond flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, for serving

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350° and line a 9-x-5” loaf pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, microwave cauliflower for 3 to 4 minutes or until soft and tender. Let cool. When cool enough to handle, transfer cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to release as much moisture as possible.
2. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, salt, egg yolks, melted butter, garlic and about a quarter of the whipped egg whites. Beat until well combined, then stir in microwaved cauliflower. Fold in the remaining egg whites and mix until just incorporated. (Mixture should be fluffy.) Fold in the thyme and most of the parsley (save some for topping).
4. Transfer batter to the lined loaf pan and sprinkle with more herbs. Bake until the top is golden, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.
5. Sprinkle slices with Parmesan and more parsley.
6. Cauliflower Garlic Bread.
7. TIP: be sure to prep riced cauliflower early and remove as much moisture as possible prior to mixing.
