Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower florets
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until you achieve a rice-like texture. You should have about 2 to 3 cups of cauliflower rice.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.
Allow the cauliflower to cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel. Wrap it up and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to achieving a crust that isn't soggy.
In a large bowl, mix the cooked cauliflower rice, egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
Place the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a 10-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven. Add your favorite pizza toppings and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked to your liking.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
