Warning: These seed-studded, garlicky cauliflower breadsticks are going to be your new favorite side dish. Snack on them solo or as a side to your favorite Paleo dinner or lunch.
Begin by processing cauliflower florets into rice, and then sautéing the cauliflower for about 10 minutes, until cooked. Take the rice off the heat and let it sit until it’s cool enough to handle.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture from the cooked cauliflower as possible. (And when you think there isn’t any moisture left, squeeze some more). This step is important, as it helps the breadsticks get nice and crisp on the outside.
