Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower florets
- 1 Egg
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup Almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1/2 cup Tomato sauce (Whole30 compliant)
- 1/2 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup Red onion
- 1/4 cup Bell pepper
- 6 leaves Fresh basil
- 1/4 cup Black olives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they reach a rice-like texture.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap.
Microwave the cauliflower for 5 minutes on high, then set it aside to cool slightly.
Once cooled, transfer the cauliflower to a clean dish towel and wring out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, egg, nutritional yeast, almond flour, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt.
Mix well until a dough forms.
Place the cauliflower dough onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten it out evenly into a circular shape about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and brush with olive oil.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust.
Top the pizza with cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, fresh basil leaves, and black olives.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the toppings are heated and slightly roasted.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve.
