Categories     Pizza

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c cauliflower, cooked and riced
1 large egg
1 c mozarella shredded
1/2 tsp fennel
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Farenheit.
  • 2. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
  • 3. In a medium bowl, combine cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Press evenly on the pan. Sprinkle evenly with fennel, oregano and parsley.
  • 4. Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes (15-20 minutes if you double the recipe).
  • 5. Remove the pan from the oven. To the crust, add sauce, then toppings and cheese. Place under a broiler (grill for the Europeans) at high heat just until cheese is melted.
  • 6. Notes: *I use frozen cauliflower prepared according to package directions. After cooked and slightly cooled, I shred cauliflower with a cheese grater, and then measure for the recipe. (Don't pack down the cup with cauliflower. Just fill it with a spoon or the cup itself.) ** The pizza sauce I use is Great Value Pizza sauce from Wal-Mart. At only 3 net carbs per quarter cup, you get a lot of punch for little carbohydrate pow. *** You can try re-baking the pizza at 450 once you add toppings if desired, but the crust is not quite as crusty. There is a minimal difference, so see what works best for you.

Cauliflower Crust Pizza.....you Won't Believe It! image

Yes, really.......this pizza was made with a cauliflower crust! I can't tell you how excited I am about this recipe. When I first saw this posted I thought the pizza looked so appetizing that I knew I had to give this a try. I was a little skeptical but only because I didn't want to get my hopes up. I'm always trying to cut out a few carbs and I'm always craving pizza. I had all the ingredients on hand so I was happy to whip up an onion pizza, my favorite! Well.... let-me-tell-you, this is surprisingly-unbelievably-amazingly good!!! Pizza night is officially back!!!

Time 1h

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 head of a large cauliflower
1 large egg
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon oregano
fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup of shredded parmesan cheese
1 cup pizza sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 cup vegetables

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Break the cauliflower into floret's and use a food processor or cheese grater to shred the cauliflower into little bits. It takes about 10-12 pulses in the food processor to get the right consistency, being careful not to over process and make a puree.
  • Transfer to a large bowl and cook in the microwave, uncovered, for 8 minutes on high heat. It is not necessary to add water, the cauliflower will steam on it's own.
  • Let the cauliflower cool slightly and mix in all remaining crust ingredients.
  • Spray a pizza pan or sheet pan with non-stick spray liberally and spread out the mixture. Go for a pretty thin pizza, this will ensure crispiness. Spray the top lightly with cooking spray.
  • Place the crust in the oven and cook for 20 minutes. It will get crispy and dark in many areas. Important tip: before you top the crust with toppings, be sure to take a large spatula and very gently loosen the bottom of the crust from the pan. This will prevent it from sticking as you cook it further.
  • Top the crust with your favorite toppings and bake until cheese is melted, about 10-15 minutes, and turn on the broiler for 2-3 minutes to crisp the top to your liking.
  • Tips for the perfect low carb pizza crust:.
  • Spray a non-stick pan liberally with non-stick spray.
  • Be sure to cook the crust on a high temperature, 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until crispy on the bottom and firm on the top. Every oven varies but the key is to have a crispy bottom so that the pizza stays together and slices up nicely.
  • After the crust is pre-baked, loosen it gently with a spatula so that it does not stick to the pan as you continue to cook the pizza with toppings.
  • If you go a little lighter on the sauce and toppings, the pizza will hold together better. The Margherita Pizza toppings of buffalo mozzarella and vine ripe tomato slices are a perfect choice.
  • Follow these tips and you will have perfect low carb pizza that is so delicious that you won't feel like you are missing a thing.
  • I hope you let me know how it works out for you and what your favorite toppings are!
