Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 medium-sized head of cauliflower, grated
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce (for dipping)
- Optional: pepperoni slices or any pizza topping of your choice
Instructions
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Grate the cauliflower into small pieces using a box grater or food processor. Squeeze out excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel.
- Make the Cauliflower Dough: In a large bowl, combine the grated cauliflower, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
- Shape the Bites: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and form them into small bites, placing them on the baking sheet.
- Bake and Serve: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve with pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Be sure to dry out the cauliflower thoroughly to avoid soggy bites.
- Use a food processor for easy and fast grating.
- Feel free to add your favorite pizza toppings like pepperoni or vegetables for extra flavor.
- You can also air fry these at 375°F for 10-12 minutes for a quicker, crunchier result.
