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

  1. Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Alternatively, grate it using a box grater.
  2. 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.
  3. In a bowl, combine the cauliflower with egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  4. 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).
  5. Bake in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy around the edges.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
