Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Author: 
Serves: 2
 
Ingredients
  • ½ head cauliflower
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
  • 1 c low fat mozzarella
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • pizza sauce
  • cheese for topping
  • Additional pizza toppings, as desired
  • Olive oil spray, Italian seasoning, garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Rice cauliflower using a box grater or chop into chunks and send through a food processor until the cauliflower is in small, uniform pieces (similar to rice).
  3. Microwave cauliflower for 7 minutes, or until soft. Press with paper towel to remove excess moisture and allow to cool.
  4. Stir egg, mozzarella, parm, salt, pepper, and garlic into cauliflower.
  5. Spread onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or spritzed with nonstick spray to make an ~10” round crust. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy.
  6. Top with sauce, cheese, and additional toppings, as desired. Spray the exposed crust with olive oil and top with Italian seasoning and garlic powder, if desired. Bake until cheese is melty.
Notes
If you use parchment paper rather than greasing your pan, your crust will get slightly less crispy.
Nutritional stats are for crust with ¼ c sauce and ½ c cheese topping.
