"Everything" Bagels Made w/Cauliflower (low-carb)

[NJCher]

"Everything Bagel" cauliflower rolls
Yields 8
Ingredients
• 1 large head cauliflower, riced (about 6 cups riced)
• 4 tbsp almond flour or pecan flour
• 2 tbsp coconut flour
• 2 tbsp organic corn meal (not paleo- you can sub almond or pecan flour)
• 4 organic eggs
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt

"Everything" Topping
• 1 tsp poppy seeds
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds
• 2 tsp dried minced garlic
• 2 tbsp dried minced onion
• 1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt

Preheat oven to 400

In a food processor, or using a hand grater, pulse/grate cauliflower until it is rice consistency

In a bowl, combine eggs, cauliflower rice, almond or pecan flour, coconut flour, corn meal, garlic powder, and salt

In a separate bowl combine "everything" topping ingredients

Lay parchment paper on a baking sheet

Make even sized balls and lay onto parchment paper. Brush with olive oil. Press down and make a hole in the middle for the “bagel”

Sprinkle "everything" topping and slightly press into the top

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until bread-like consistency (it might be longer depending on the size you make)

Optional: Broil on high for 3-5 minutes after baking

Remove from baking sheet and let cool directly on a cooling rack


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A lot of recipes that use cauliflower will tell you to squeeze the water out of the cauliflower before baking. I used to do that, but decided it was too much work. Instead, I just use parchment paper to bake on. The water runs out of the cauliflower while baking and evaporates. Shaves about 8-10" off the preparation time.

I use my oven's convection setting. I like the crisp finish it gives them. They're good even on regular bake setting, though--have tried both ways.

These recipes are especially good with sauce. Some of the ones I've tried and liked are the turmeric cilantro sauce I spoke of, tomato marinara made with cabernet wine, or red pepper quinoa sauce from Trader Joe's. Eggplant-tomato sauce is also good.

2. Thanks very much

I look forward to trying them when my taste buds improve a bit more (yes, I'm only about halfway there). Things look good, and sound good, but meh when I try most things.
