Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cauliflower
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 120 ml Marinara sauce (low sugar)
- 50 grams Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- 100 grams Cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 10 grams Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Chop the cauliflower into small florets and pulse in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly, then transfer to a clean dish towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, egg, shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the cauliflower dough onto the prepared baking sheet and press it into a 10-inch (25 cm) circle, about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the marinara sauce evenly over the top, leaving a 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then arrange the cherry tomato slices evenly across the pizza.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if using.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your guilt-free, delicious low-calorie pizza!
