Missing breadsticks on the keto diet? With some mozzarella cheese and cauliflower (and a few other simple ingredients), you can make a tasty replacement that is way better than any bread! I’m not totally sure what I should call these. Are they cheesy keto breadsticks? Keto cauliflower sticks? Mozzarella sticks? Technically, they are sticks made with mozzarella, but I typically associate that term with breaded mozzarella.
The first time I made keto cheesy cauliflower breadsticks, I did it the lazy way after consulting a couple of recipes for inspiration and then totally winging it in the kitchen.
Here are some of the recipes that inspired me:
- Cheesy Cauliflower Breadsticks – Low Carb Yum
- Cauliflower Breadsticks – ifoodreal
- Everything but the Bagel Cheese Sticks – Klassic Habit: This recipe doesn’t contain any cauliflower, and I still need to try actually it, but it’s definitely the recipe that sparked my desire for keto cheese sticks in general.
I’ve since perfected my recipe, though I occasionally change up the cheeses and spices.
A Few Notes About My Keto Cauliflower Breadsticks
- I apologize that I do not have exact measurements of the spices! I recommend spicing according to your own tastes. If you cook a lot, this won’t be an issue, but I may update this recipe with exact amounts if I ever pay more attention while making cheesy cauliflower breadsticks.
- One of my favorite variations of these keto breadsticks involves using a Mexican cheese blend instead of mozzarella and different spices including paprika and jalapeño powder. These are amazing when served with guacamole!
- The default mozzarella-based version of this recipe would be good with a low carb tomato sauce dip, although I haven’t actually tried this yet.
I definitely recommend that you check out other similar recipes and experiment with the ingredients for the perfect keto cheesy breadsticks. Anyway, onto the recipe. Feel free to let me know your thoughts in the comments, and happy keto cooking!
