Can you imagine being able to have a wonderful Italian dinner of Zoodles in an Italian Meat Sauce with Turkey Breast Meatballs and 3 huge Breadsticks for 1 Point? You can! Below is my latest fantastically delicious Weight Watchers Cheesy Cauliflower Breadstick recipe + dipping sauces. And the breadsticks are large too. I made a double batch this time around because when I first made them, they didn’t last long.
These Cheesy Cauliflower Breadsticks are incredibly healthy too and below you will find my 0 Point dipping sauce recipes if you want to include them. But they are just as delicious on their own.

Weight Watchers Cheesy Cauliflower Breadstick Recipe
6 Cups of Grated (Riced) Cauliflower (Fresh)
3/4 Cup Each of Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheddar & Mozzarella Cheese
1 oz Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Egg, Beaten
Teaspoon each of Dried Basil, Parsley & Salt
1/2 Teaspoon of Ground Pepper
Minced Garlic Clove
Slow Cooker 0 Point Italian Meat Gravy, for dipping, Optional (Recipe Below)
0 Point Pizza Sauce for dipping, Optional (Recipe Below)
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Microwave cauliflower in a covered bowl about 8 minutes or until tender. When it’s cool, dump into a flour sack towel or cheesecloth and squeeze until the liquid comes out. Return it to the bowl when done.
- In a separate bowl, combine cheeses. Stir half of the cheese mixture into the bowl of cauliflower. Reserve the remaining cheese mixture. Add the egg, basil, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper and stir into the cauliflower.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and shape the cauliflower mixture into a 11 x 9 rectangle. Bake until the edges are browned – about 20 minutes. Top with the remaining cheese and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly – about 10 more minutes. Cut into 8 big breadsticks and serve with the 0 SmartPoint Pizza Sauce or Italian Meat Gravy for dipping (if using). Each breadstick is 1 SmartPoint on the Blue, Green & Purple Plans. Enjoy!
