Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Try this healthy take on pizza crust and top it with your favorite (meatless) toppings for an easy Meatless Monday meal!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cauliflower, riced and cooked
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/2 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • Olive oil (optional)

Instructions:

Grind the cauliflower in the food processor.  You can also use a cheese grater if you don’t have a food processor.  Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl and add  about 1/4 cup water. Microwave the cauliflower for about 6-8 minutes.

Once the cauliflower is cooked, be sure to squeeze out any excess water by wringing the cauliflower out in a towel. The drier the cauliflower, the more “crust-like” your cauliflower pizza crust will turn out. In a bowl, add the cauliflower, cheese, and egg and stir together.  Add the oregano, garlic, and garlic salt. Transfer to the cookie sheet, and shape into a 9-inch circle. You can also brush the crust with olive oil to help it brown in the oven. Bake at 450 degrees for 15-25 minutes, until the crust is browned and cooked through the middle.

Remove the crust from the oven and top with your favorite pizza toppings. Pop the pizza back in the oven for about 5 minutes under the broiler to melt the cheese. Make sure all toppings have been pre-cooked.
