Guilt-Free Pizza Bites (Cauliflower Pizza Bites) ***adapted from DAMY health*** Prep time: 10 Minutes - Cook time: 25-30 Minutes Yield: 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 1/2 cup 1% Cottage Cheese (drained) 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella 1 Tsp Oregano 2 Tsp Parsley 1/4 Tsp Garlic Powder 1 Tbsp olive or 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 pan 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 Tips – Here are tips to make your pizza bites crusty: Make sure your cauliflower is dry after washing. Bake until crust-like. If you peek at your crust at the recommended cooking time and they are not golden… cook longer.
