Low Carb Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

For the Toppings:

• 1/2 cup tomato sauce (sugar-free)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Assorted toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, etc.)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Cauliflower: Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until you get a rice-like consistency.
3. Cook the Cauliflower: Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 8 minutes, or until softened. Allow to cool slightly.
4. Remove Excess Moisture: Place the cooked cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for a crispy crust.
5. Mix the Crust Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and beaten eggs. Mix until well combined.
6. Form the Crust: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press it into a round or rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Bake the Crust: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy around the edges.
8. Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and add your desired toppings.
9. Bake the Pizza: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy!

Tips

• Removing moisture from the cauliflower is key to ensuring your crust isn’t soggy.
• You can customize the toppings to suit your taste and dietary preferences.
