  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 20 minute

Ingredients

– 1 medium head of cauliflower (about 4 cups riced)
– 1 large egg
– 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing the baking sheet
– Toppings of your choice (e.g., marinara sauce, more cheese, vegetables, meats)


Instructions

Creating your own Cauliflower Crust Pizza is simple. Follow these steps to make it a reality:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Cauliflower: Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and chop it into florets. Pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
3. Cook Cauliflower Rice: Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for about 5-6 minutes, until tender. Let it cool slightly.
4. Remove Moisture: After cooling, place the cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
5. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice, egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
6. Shape the Crust: Transfer the mixture onto a greased baking sheet. Use your hands to shape it into a pizza crust, about ½ inch thick, ensuring the edges are slightly thicker for a better hold.
7. Bake the Crust: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
8. Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired toppings.
9. Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Slice and Serve: Once done, let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and enjoy your delicious Cauliflower Crust Pizza!
