Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until you get a rice-like consistency.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 4-5 minutes until softened.
Let the cauliflower cool slightly, then place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to achieving a crispy crust.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well until you form a dough-like consistency.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a round crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired keto-friendly toppings.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted and starts to bubble.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy your Keto Cauliflower Pizza!
