This Cauliflower Crusted Pizza is a great option for those who are watching their carb intake, and it’s incredibly easy to make.

Ingredients for Cauliflower Pizza:

For the crust:

1 head Cauliflower, riced
1/2 cup Italian Breadcrumbs (if gluten free, sub oat flour or ground flax seeds)
2 Eggs
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. dried Oregano
S+P to taste (about 1/2 tsp. each)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make “Cauliflower Rice” by grating the flouters with a cheese grater. Process in small batches until your entire head of Cauliflower has been “Riced”. {NOTE: Make life super easy and buy the Cauliflower Rice already prepped at select grocery stores.}
Place “Rice” in a large microwavable bowl and cover with a paper towel. Microwave for 5 minutes, or until softened. Once cooked, drain onto a small stack of paper towels and squeeze out any excess liquid. {NOTE: This is mandatory, otherwise you will have soggy crust… and no one likes soggy crust.}
In a large bowl, mix together the “Rice”, Breadcrumbs, Eggs, Parmesan, Mozzarella and Seasonings. Mix well.
Place the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using your hands, flatten the dough to create a Pizza Crust shape. Try to have an even layer throughout.
Place the Crust in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden.
After the Crust has cooked, pull out add desired Pizza Sauce and toppings you prefer. Then pop the Pizza back in the oven for 5-6 minutes to heat through and cheese has melted.
Top with Fresh Herbs and serve immediately.
