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