Best Cauliflower Pizzas With Mozzarella Kale And Lemon Recipes

CAULIFLOWER PIZZAS WITH MOZZARELLA, KALE, AND LEMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). To make the cauliflower pizza crust, lightly grease two 12-inch round pizza trays and line with non-stick baking paper. Place the cauliflower, in batches, in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl, add the almond meal, Parmesan, egg, salt and pepper and mix until a soft dough forms. Divide the mixture in half and press into the prepared trays. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crisp.
• Place the kale, oil, garlic, chile and lemon zest in a bowl and toss to coat. Divide the mixture between the bases and top with the Parmesan. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the kale is crisp. Top each pizza with mozzarella and basil to serve.

CAULIFLOWER-CRUST PIZZA WITH TOMATOES AND MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in middle of oven; place pizza stone or inverted (if rimmed) baking sheet on rack. Preheat to 425°F.
• Working in batches if needed, pulse cauliflower in a food processor fitted with the blade, or grate using the medium holes of a box grater, until fine crumbs form and are rice-like in texture. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and tightly squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible.
• Mix cauliflower, egg, Parmesan, almond meal, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl until mixture holds together when pinched.
• Line pizza peel or second baking sheet with parchment paper; generously brush with oil. Form cauliflower mixture into a 12" circle with your hands on parchment. Using a rolling pin, make thickness as even as possible. Carefully slide parchment onto preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
• Bake cauliflower crust until golden brown and firm to the touch, rotating halfway through, 20-22 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Sprinkle with 1 1/4 cups mozzarella. Top with sauce, using the back of a spoon to spread over cheese. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella.
• Slide pizza back onto pizza stone or baking sheet and continue to bake until bubbly and browned in spots, 5-7 minutes. Top with basil and red pepper, if using. Let sit 5 minutes, then cut into 6-8 wedges.
• Do Ahead
• Pizza can be made 3 days ahead; transfer to a resealable container and chill. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.

BAKED CAULIFLOWER PIZZAIOLA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush the cauliflower wedges with the 1 tbsp oil, then put them in a large roasting dish. Season and roast for 10 mins or until beginning to soften. Carefully turn the wedges over.
• Tuck the tomatoes, garlic and most of the basil and oregano around the cauliflower, then sprinkle with the chilli flakes, wine and 2 tbsp more oil. Season and return to the oven for 25 mins or until the tomatoes are soft and starting to catch here and there. Squish the tomatoes slightly to help the juices flow.
• Mix the Parmesan and breadcrumbs together. Tear the mozzarella over the cauliflower and tomatoes, scatter over the cheesy crumbs and bake for 10 mins more or until the topping is crisp and the cauliflower is tender. Top with the rest of the herbs and serve with crusty bread and a green salad.
