Description

A healthy and low-carb alternative to traditional pizza crust made from cauliflower, perfect for those following gluten-free or low-carb diets.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until finely ground (about 2 to 3 cups).
  3. Transfer the cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes until soft. Let it cool slightly.
  4. Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  5. In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and egg until well combined.
  6. Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into a round or rectangular crust about 1/4-inch thick.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and firm.
  8. Remove from oven, add your favorite toppings, and bake an additional 10 minutes until toppings are cooked.

Notes

  • Ensure all moisture is squeezed out from cauliflower to avoid a soggy crust.
  • You can add herbs like basil or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
