Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe
Yield: 1 crust
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup mozzarella, grated
- 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Place the cauliflower florets into a food processor and pulse until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
- Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked.
- Once cooked and cool enough to handle, place the cauliflower in a tea towel or thick paper towel and wring out all the moisture. Make sure the cauliflower is as dry as possible to ensure a crispy crust.
- In a bowl, combine the dried cauliflower with the egg, mozzarella, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Press the mixture onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray, shaping it into a circle if desired.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown.
- Add your favorite pizza toppings, then bake for an additional 20 minutes to finish the pizza.
