Cauliflower Crust Pizza

This is a great alternative for homemade pizza if you're short on carbs, but have lots of fat to spare!⁠

Ingredients

  • ⁠1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 500g)⁠

  • 50g / 1/4 cup grated Parmesan⁠

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning ⁠

  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt ⁠

  • 1 large egg ⁠

  • 200g / 2 cups freshly grated mozzarella⁠

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.⁠

  2. Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor to a fine snowy powder (you should have about 2 1/2 cups).⁠

  3. Transfer the processed cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and cover. Microwave until soft, 4 to 6 minutes.⁠

  4. Transfer to a clean, dry kitchen towel and allow to cool.⁠

  5. When cool enough to handle, wrap the cauliflower in the towel and wring out as much moisture as possible, transferring to a second towel if necessary (this step is VERY important!)⁠

  6. In a large bowl, stir together the cauliflower, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, egg and 1 cup of the mozzarella until well combined. ⁠

  7. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and press into a 10-inch round, or 3 smaller pizza's for individual sizes. ⁠

  8. Bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.⁠

  9. Remove the crust from the oven and top with your favourite pizza toppings! We used tomato sauce, red onion and pizza mozzarella cheese.⁠
