Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cauliflower head
- 1 large Egg
- 120 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 120 milliliters Pizza or tomato sauce
- 50 grams Mini pepperoni or sliced veggies
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower, then cut it into florets.
Place cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they reach a rice-like consistency.
Transfer the cauliflower 'rice' to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 5 minutes, until soft. Allow it to cool slightly.
Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheese cloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure a crispy pizza crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower with the egg, 60 grams of mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and form each portion into a small round crust on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove the crusts from the oven and top each with a small amount of pizza or tomato sauce, the remaining mozzarella, and your choice of mini pepperoni slices or vegetables.
Return the mini pizzas to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and edges are crispy.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves just before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb mini pizzas!
