Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower florets
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 0.5 cup Bell pepper, sliced
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Transfer it to a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave the riced cauliflower for 5-6 minutes and let it cool completely.
Once cooled, place the cauliflower on a clean dish towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure a crispy crust.
In a large bowl, mix the drained cauliflower, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until a dough forms.
Spread the dough into a 12-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet, pressing firmly.
Brush olive oil over the crust and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from oven and spread pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and pepperoni slices.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve immediately.
