Cauliflower Crust Pizza is life changing 🙌 #RealTalk This is one of the easiest and most delicious pizzas I’ve made at home – and it’s low carb, fam! It’s a triple winner recipe. Healthy, easy and delicious!
INGREDIENTS:
1 head cauliflower
1 large egg
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
½ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Salt & Pepper
DIRECTIONS:
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 425F. In a large skillet or pot, bring water to a boil – enough water to cover cauli florets. Season water with salt. Roughly chop cauliflower in even pieces and add to the water in one even layer. Cook for 3 minutes until crisp-tender. Transfer to a dish with paper towel and squeeze to drain water.
2️⃣ Add drained cauli to food processor and pulse until grated. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your food processor. You want to get a cauliflower-rice-like texture, not a paste. Drain excess water in paper towel and squeeze hard! You want to dry out the cauliflower as much as possible.
3️⃣ Transfer cauli to a large bowl, add egg, mozzarella, parmesan and season with salt & pepper. Be mindful that parm cheese tends to be salty.
4️⃣ Line up a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease it (oil or butter, your choice). Pat cauli into a crust about ½ inch thick, that’s what I did and it held wonderfully – It’s up to you if you prefer a thinner or thicker crust. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. VOILA your crust is ready!
5️⃣ Top with marinara, mozz and your choice of toppings. Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until cheese melts. I made a killer half & half combo 🍕 Half pepperoni and feta. Half grape tomatoes, fresh mozz, fresh basil and balsamic glaze. Grated fresh parm on top. ENJOY!
