Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole cauliflower head, grated or riced
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce
- 0.5 cup mini pepperoni slices or sliced turkey pepperoni
- 0.5 cup additional shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes until soft. Allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the cooled cauliflower onto a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, egg, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, almond flour, garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small bagel-sized disk, approximately 1/2 inch thick, on the prepared baking tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they harden slightly and turn golden brown.
Remove the mini bagels from the oven. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each bagel, followed by a sprinkle of additional shredded mozzarella cheese.
Top each mini bagel with a few slices of mini pepperoni.
Return the bagels to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let them sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil, if using, and serve warm.
