Description
This Cauliflower Pizza Crust is a low-carb, gluten-free, and veggie-packed alternative to traditional pizza dough. It’s crisp, flavorful, and the perfect base for your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower (or 4 cups riced cauliflower)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Alternatively, grate it using a box grater.
- Microwave the riced cauliflower for 5 minutes and allow it to cool. Then, wrap in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- In a bowl, combine the cauliflower with egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it. Press the cauliflower mixture into a thin, even circle (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Bake in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy around the edges.
- Remove the crust, add your desired toppings, and return to the oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5-10 more minutes.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Top with torn basil, olive oil drizzle, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- Use mini crusts for personal pizzas or shape into strips for appetizers.
- To freeze, bake the crust first, then cool and wrap tightly before freezing for up to 2 months.
