Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces paleo sausage
- 0.75 cups pizza sauce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cups fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower has a rice-like texture.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4 minutes, until softened. Let it cool slightly.
Squeeze out the excess moisture from the cauliflower using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to ensure your crust isn’t soggy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, eggs, almond flour, Italian seasoning, and sea salt. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the cauliflower dough to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out to form a round crust approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Brush the crust with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
While the crust is baking, prepare the toppings. Slice the paleo sausage, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion thinly.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sliced sausage until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over it.
Distribute the sliced sausage, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion across the top of the pizza.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and lightly roasted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
