Cauliflower Breadsticks | Keto Breadsticks
These Cauliflower Breadsticks are infused with a ton of flavor from the Italian spices and the cheese and garlic. They’re a perfect side dish pairing for a Keto Italian meal . These are breadsticks you don’t have to feel guilty eating, and they’re really very good.
What Makes your Cauliflower Breadsticks | Keto Breadsticks so different from the other recipes out there?
Everyone and their cat has recipes for cauliflower breadsticks. Perhaps not that many cats have gotten into the cauliflower game, but their owners certainly have.
So does the world really need yet ANOTHER cauliflower breadsticks recipe ?
Well, some of the Cauliflower Breadsticks recipes I’ve seen end up leaving the keto breadsticks soft. I wanted a cauliflower breadstick that could stand up to dipping into a hearty marinara sauce, so I made sure these were thin and crispy. The texture really is similar to bread!
But the bigger issue is that I found way too many recipes that ask you to pre-cook the cauliflower.
I’m sorry, but no. Just no. I can’t cook things twice and let’s face it– it’s cauliflower. Riced. Why does it need to cook twice??
I’m happy to tell you, it does not. Cauliflower cooks so fast, it’s redundant to pre-cook it.
This recipe doesn’t ask you to pre-cook and I assure you, the keto breadsticks from this recipe taste. Just. Fine.
How Many Carbs in Cauliflower Breadsticks?
In this recipe, there are 5 net carbs per 2 cauliflower breadsticks. I know that might sound on the higher side for a side dish, but I promise you that they’re worth working into your macros for the day.
Can You Freeze Cauliflower Breadsticks?
I know when I get a craving for breadsticks, I want them RIGHT THEN. So sometimes I like to make extras of this Keto breadsticks recipe .
To freeze them for easy reheating, wrap in either aluminum foil or place in a freezer-safe baggie in a single layer. Then when you’re ready to reheat, simply pop them back in the oven at 350 for a couple of minutes until they’re warm and crispy.
Are Cauliflower Breadsticks Good For You?
Well, yes and no. These keto breadsticks have lots of cheese, which if you are dairy-free doesn’t make for a good fit. However, cheese is high in fat and makes for a great option to hold off the hunger longer. Plus–veggies. I know I’m always looking for a way to incorporate more vegetables into my diet.
So while these may not be your stereotypical health food, they’re certainly a better option than a traditional breadstick.

I NEED TO USE MY OVEN?
This recipe will use your oven (something I don’t use too often anymore thanks to my Air Fryer and Instant Pots ) and bakes in about 30 minutes. Actually what I did was, I used my Breville Smart Oven Air which I often use as an air fryer as well.
This low carb breadsticks recipe makes 8 servings, so if you’re having a big group over, you may want to make multiple batches! These definitely went quickly at my house, and I’m sure your friends and family will devour these quickly as well.
These are best eaten hot or reheated. I would advise against eating them cold.

Haddock with Spinach and Rice
Ingredients
For the Rice
- ▢ 1 cup Basmati Rice
- ▢ 1 cup Water
- ▢ 1 tablespoon Ghee or Oil
- ▢ 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
For the Fish
- ▢ 1 pound frozen haddock fillets about 1/2 inch thin and cut into 4 pieces , or any other firm white fish such as cod or tilapia
- ▢ 2 cups Frozen Spinach
- ▢ 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ▢ 1/2-1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ▢ 1-1.5 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
For the Lemon Garlic Mayonnaise (optional)
- ▢ 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- ▢ 2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
- ▢ 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
Instructions
- Set out the fish on the kitchen counter to defrost and proceed with the steps listed below. By the time you gather all the ingredients and get to to the fish, it should be somewhat defrosted and ready for you.
- Rinse the rice well and drain. Place the rice, water, salt, and oil in the inner liner of the instant pot and stir to mix.
- Cut 4 pieces of aluminum foil large enough to hold and wrap the fish in a pocket. Divide the spinach evenly between the four sheets. Place the fish on top. Drizzle oil, salt and pepper on top of the fish and close each packet. Close up the packets of foil into long rectangles, ensuring the packages will not leak (otherwise your rice is going to taste entirely too fishy).
- Place a steamer rack on top of the rice. Place the aluminum packets of spinach and fish on the steamer rack in one layer.
- Cook for 4 Minutes high pressure.
- Allow it to release pressure naturally for 10 mins and then release all remaining pressure.
- For the Sauce: While the rice and fish cook, mix together the mayonnaise, garlic and lemon juice and let it rest.
- To serve, divide the rice into four bowls. Spoon the spinach and fish from each packet onto the rice, pouring any juice in the package on the rice, and drizzle with the sauce, if using. Or you know, let everyone get their own fish—you’ve already done the cooking for them!
