Cauliflower Crust Pizza Recipe

Hi readers!

If you know me at all, you know how much I looooove pizza. I'm pretty sure I could eat it everyday! However, pizza isn't usually very macro friendly. That is why I decided to create a LOW CARB, low calorie, gluten free CAULIFLOWER CRUST PIZZA. Guilt-free pizza? I was automatically sold on the idea. If you want to learn how to make this delicious pizza, keep reading :)

Ingredients for crust:

- 1 head of cauliflower
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used mozzerella)
- 1 tsp of salt-free seasoning
- pinch of salt and pepper
- cooking oil (I used calorie free coconut oil spray)

Other Ingredients:

- toppings/sauce of choice

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
2) Spray baking sheet with the cooking spray
3) Rinse cauliflower and remove excess leaves and stems
4) Grate the cauliflower florets (or toss into food processor if you're on top of your kitchen appliances game) until the entire cauliflower is in small pieces (do not worry about bigger chunks we will be cooking and mashing it it in the next steps anyway)
5) Place the little cauliflower shreds into the microwave for about 8 minutes
6) Tap off the excess water from the warm cauliflower with some paper towels
7) Transfer the grated cauliflower into a bowl and mix with the egg, shredded cheese, seasonings and salt and pepper, mix it all up.
8) Transfer the cauliflower on the pre-greased baking sheet and flatten it out across the pan with your fingers
9) Bake the crust for about 16-18 minutes at 375 degrees F
10) Top the baked crust with toppings of choice (I used tomato sauce, lean smoked ham, mozzarella and parmesan cheese, tomato slices, fresh basil leaves, spinach, arugula, mushrooms, sweet orange bell peppers, and red onions and it tasted unreal).
10) Bake for about 20 minutes at 375 degrees F

ENJOY!
