Ingredients

  • 5 cups cauliflower florets

  • 2 cloves garlic, divided

  • 1 ½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
