Cauliflower pizza is a fantastic healthy alternative to traditional pizza, and it's quite versatile! Here’s a simple recipe for a cauliflower crust pizza along with some vegetable topping ideas:
Cauliflower Crust Pizza Recipe
Ingredients for the Crust:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower (about 2–3 cups riced)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or your choice of herbs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Rice the Cauliflower: Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, then cut it into florets. Use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower until it resembles rice (or you can grate it using a box grater).
-
Cook the Cauliflower: Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover it and microwave for about 5-7 minutes, until soft. Let it cool slightly.
-
Make the Dough: Once cooled, place the cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. In a mixing bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
-
Form the Crust: Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a pizza crust about 1/4 inch thick. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
