Cheesy Gluten-Free Cauliflower Bread Bites

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Wash and cut the cauliflower into florets. If you have a food processor, pulse the florets until they resemble rice. If not, you can finely chop them with a knife.

Steam or microwave the cauliflower rice for about 5-7 minutes, until slightly softened. Let cool slightly.

Place the cooked cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial for crispy bites.

In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower rice, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

If desired, gently fold in any optional toppings.

Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small bite-sized mounds.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and crispy around the edges.

Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
