Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 Egg
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce, low carb
- 20 Pepperoni slices
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until finely ground, resembling coarse crumbs.
Transfer the processed cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
Once cooled, place the cauliflower in a clean cloth or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower with the egg, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a crust, about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the low carb marinara sauce evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
