Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 cup, shredded (for topping) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until you have a fine rice-like texture.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
Let the cooked cauliflower cool while using paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth to remove excess moisture by squeezing it out.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, eggs, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a circular crust about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it becomes golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven, and spread the marinara sauce evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, and return the pizza to the oven.
Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle olive oil over the top before slicing and serving. Enjoy your healthy cauliflower pizza!
