Cauliflower Pizza Bites

Makes 24 Cauliflower Pizza Bites

Ingredients:2 Cups Grated Cauliflower (washed, dried and grated using a food processor or cheese grater by hand until rice-like or thinner – Note – Approximately one head of cauliflower)
1/4 Cup Egg Whites
1 Cup 1% Cottage Cheese (drained)
1 Tsp Oregano
2 Tsp Parsley
1/4 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil (Optional)
1-2 Tbsp Frank’s Hot Sauce (Optional)

Directions:Pre-heat your oven to 450 F.
Using a healthy cooking oil spray your mini muffin tin.
In a hot frying stir fry the “cauliflower rice” until the cauliflower is slightly translucent (about 6-8 minutes). Place in a bowl and let cool.
Place all other ingredients the food processor and blend until smooth.
In a bowl combine both the “cauliflower rice” and blended ingredients. Mix completely.
Evenly spoon mixture into your muffin tin molds. Press pizza dough down evenly and firmly (*The pressing down firmly is very important to make sure these stick together).
Place in your oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Remove the pizza bites from the oven and let set until cool (This is also very important – let these pizza bites set in their pan for 5 – 10 minutes before removing – If you take them out while they are too hot they will break).
Once cool remove from muffin tin (either by tipping them out OR by running a thin knife down along the side and popping them out).
Use organic, natural pizza or pasta sauce for dipping (or make your own sauce- Simple Marinara Sauce link).
Enjoy!

Tips – Here are my main tips to make your pizza bites crusty:
Make sure your cauliflower is dry after washing.
Bake until crust-like. If you peak at your crust at the recommended cooking time and they are not golden… cook longer.
