Ingredients

  • 1 cup cauliflower riced and cooked
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mozarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • Additional toppings of your choice

Instructions

  • To rice the cauliflower, cut the florets into chunks and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble small, rice-like pieces. You can also use a cheese grater. Be careful not to over-process the cauliflower, as it can become mushy.
  • Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5 to 8 minutes, depending on your microwave’s power. There’s no need to add water.
  • Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a fine mesh strainer and press out as much water as possible. Then, wrap it in a clean dish towel and squeeze gently to remove any remaining moisture. This step is important for getting a crisp crust.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the cooked riced cauliflower, the beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic, and salt. Mix until everything is well blended.
  • Place the cauliflower mixture on the prepared cookie sheet and pat it into a 9-inch round. Don’t press it too thin or you may create holes in the crust.
  • Bake the crust at 450°F for 15 minutes, or until it’s golden and firm to the touch.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and spread pizza sauce evenly over the top. Add mozzarella cheese and your favorite pre-cooked toppings.
  • Place the pizza under the broiler for a few minutes, just until the cheese melts and starts to bubble. Watch carefully so it doesn’t burn.

Notes

One large head of cauliflower will yield about 3 cups of riced cauliflower. You can store any extra in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days or use it to make more pizzas right away.
