Cauliflower Pizza Crust

I love this cauliflower pizza crust recipe not only because it’s delish, but it’s so much easier than most of the others out there. 

This is a great way to lighten up pizza night and still feel satisfied! 

​Try sauteing some onions, mushrooms, and peppers (and maybe some chicken sausage!) while the crust bakes and using that as your topper. Seriously yum.

(serves 4)

• 5 cups (about 1 head) of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 ½ cups (170 grams) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• ½ tsp each dried oregano and kosher salt
• ¼ tsp garlic powder

Preheat the oven to 425ºF/220ºC. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the cauliflower in a food processor and process until it’s finely chopped. Pour into a microwave-safe bowl and cover, and microwave on high for about 3-4 minutes, until it begins to soften.

Remove from the microwave and let cool for a few minutes. Drain out the liquid. Stir in half of the mozzarella, both eggs, and the seasonings

Spread the “dough” into a 12-inch (about 30 cm) circle. It should be about ¼ inch (½ cm) thick. 

Place in the oven and bake until it’s brown and starting to get crisp on the edges, about 35-40 minutes.

Take the crust from the oven and add your favourite pizza toppings (including the other half of the mozzarella). Place back into the oven and bake until the toppings are hot and melty, about 5-10 minutes.

Enjoy!
