Ingredients
PIZZA CRUST
- 1 head cauliflower, coarsely chopped (or use about 4 cups of store-bought cauliflower rice or crumbles)
- ¾ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cup shredded or grated Parmesan
- 4 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
TOPPINGS
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- ½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan
- Veggie toppings of choice, peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach
- Crushed red pepper, optional
- Oregano, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450℉. Generously mist baking sheet with oil spray.* This is super important so the pizza doesn't stick to the baking sheet!
- Place cauliflower florets in food processor and pulse until finely chopped with no chunks.
- Transfer chopped cauliflower to bowl, cover with paper towel and microwave for 8 minutes until cooked through. Allow to cool briefly before squeezing out as much water as possible with a cheese cloth or paper towels. The more water you can squeeze out, the more delicious and crispy your crust will be!
- Mash the cauliflower and let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Add mozzarella cheese, Parmesan, egg whites, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
- Coat a large baking sheet with oil spray (or for a crispier crust, use a pre-heated pizza stone), spread cauliflower “dough” on top, and shape into pizza crust. Place in oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Add sauce, cheese, vegetable toppings and additional seasonings (like crushed red pepper and oregano). Place under broiler until cheese is hot and bubbly.
- Slice and enjoy!
