Steps:
- Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 10 minutes (or steam on the stove), until softened. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- While the cauliflower is cooling, pulse the hemp seeds in a food processor, until smooth.
- Add the eggs, garlic, sea salt and black pepper. Process again until smooth.
- When the cauliflower is cool enough to handle, transfer it to a tea towel and squeeze tightly several times to drain as much water as possible. You should get close to a cup of moisture out.
- Add the drained riced cauliflower to the food processor. Process until smooth.
- Transfer the "dough" onto the lined baking sheet. Spread into a rectangle, about 1/3 inch thick. (Mine turned out to be 12x8 in (31x20 cm), but the size will vary depending on the size of your cauliflower head - the thickness is the important part.)
- Bake for 13-18 minutes, until the top is firm and starting to get golden.
- Brush the top with melted butter. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top, then bake for 5-10 more minutes, until the cheese is melted. If desired, you can place under the broiler to brown the cheese.
- Cool slightly, then cut lengthwise in half, and then cross-wise into 1-inch wide strips, to form 24 breadstick shaped rectangles total.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and coat with cooking spray.
- Add the cauliflower and garlic to a food processor and pulse until finely ground and the consistency of couscous. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a large bowl. Add the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes if using, eggs, 1 cup Cheddar, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and combine until the mixture holds together when squeezed.
- Spread the cauliflower mixture into an 8-by-12-inch rectangle about a 1/4 inch thick on the prepared baking sheet. Use the straight edge of the parchment as your guide to keep the cauliflower mixture edges straight too. Bake until the crust turns golden brown all over, 18 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and lay another piece of parchment on top of the crust. Fit a second rimmed baking sheet on top so the bottom of the baking sheet is touching the parchment. Using oven mitts, hold the 2 baking sheets together and flip them over so the crust is now on the parchment on the upside-down baking sheet. Remove the first parchment from the crust, cut the crust into 1 1/2-inch-thick strips (you should have 8 to 9 strips) and spread them apart a little. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Cheddar and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Bake on the upside-down baking sheet until the cheese is melted and turning brown in spots and the visible crust is a deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the sticks on the parchment to a serving plate and serve with the marinara sauce for dipping.

Tips:
- Use fresh cauliflower: Fresh cauliflower has a better flavor and texture than frozen cauliflower.
- Grate the cauliflower finely: This will help the cauliflower to bind together and form a dough.
- Use a food processor to make the dough: This will help to ensure that the dough is smooth and well-combined.
- Add plenty of cheese: The cheese is what makes these breadsticks so delicious, so don't be afraid to add a lot of it.
- Bake the breadsticks until they are golden brown: This will help them to be crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Conclusion:
These cheesy cauliflower breadsticks are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional breadsticks. They are made with a combination of cauliflower, cheese, and eggs, and they are baked until they are golden brown. These breadsticks are perfect for dipping in your favorite sauce, or you can enjoy them on their own. They are also a great way to get your kids to eat more vegetables.
