Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 3 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, low-fat, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce, low-sodium
- 1 cup Vegetables of choice (e.g., bell peppers, onions, mushrooms), sliced
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until it resembles rice-like grains.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 4-5 minutes, until softened.
Once cooled slightly, place the cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, egg whites, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a circular crust approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden and firm.
Remove from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust.
Top with your choice of sliced vegetables.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
