Cauliflower Thins
Healthy & Tasty Cauliflower Thins
By: Jenn Alberts
Move over, boring burger buns—these cauliflower thins are the new star of your sandwich game. Who knew cauliflower could transform into a low-carb hero, subbing in for buns, pizza crusts, or even a slice of bread? While store-bought versions exist, they can cost a pretty penny. Luckily, whipping them up at home is a cinch—and once you try this easy recipe, you’ll never look back. It makes four generous rounds, but I often double it and freeze the extras (they warm up perfectly in a toaster!).
Ready to give your favorite burger or breakfast sandwich a lighter, veggie-powered upgrade? Let’s get started!
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400
Microwave fresh or frozen riced or grated cauliflower for 4 min. Placed cauliflower onto a clean towel, cheesecloth, or strainer. Once cool to the touch you want to squeeze out as much water as possible from the cauliflower (so you don’t have a soggy end product).
Step 2
In a bowl mix all ingredients together well.
Step 3
On a parchment lined baking sheet scoop 1/2 cup portions onto sheet, then flatten into patty shapes. These won’t spread or raise so the end result should be about the same thickness and size.
Step 4
Bake at 400 for 20 min, FLIP and bake another 4 min. Total baking time 24 min.
