Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried basil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets, and process them in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes, until soft.
Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible. This is crucial to achieve a crisp crust.
In a large bowl, combine the dry cauliflower, egg, almond flour, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a circular shape, about 1/4-inch thick. Press the mixture down firmly to ensure it holds together.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before topping with your favorite Whole30-compliant toppings. Return to the oven under the broiler for an additional 5 minutes if desired.
Slice and serve immediately, enjoying your healthier, savory cauliflower crust!
