I am not specifically on a low carb diet, but I am always looking for healthier ways to make my favorite foods. One time I tried making cauliflower ‘mashed potatoes’ and it was a gigantic fail. I think it was cook error, but it was inedible. For this reason, I was a little hesitant to try cauliflower pizza crust at first. However, it was so delicious! For the most part I didn’t even really taste the cauliflower. My husband missed the bread, but I would be happy to eat a cauliflower pizza crust anytime.

Before you decide to give it a try keep in mind that this isn’t going to be a pizza that you can pick up and eat with your hands. It would just fall completely apart. It is definitely a fork and knife kind of pizza.

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Ingredients

1 head of cauliflower, grated

1 cup shredded mozzerella cheese

1 egg

1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning

1 Tbsp minced garlic

dash of salt or salt to taste

olive oil for brushing the crust

Pizza fixings: sauce, cheese, toppings

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Wash the cauliflower and remove the stem and leaves. Grate with a cheese grater. Microwave the cauliflower on high for 4 minutes. Stir. Return to microwave for another 4 minutes. Beat the egg. Add the cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic, and salt to the cauliflower. Mix well. Spray your cooking sheet with cooking spray to avoid sticking. Turn out the cauliflower mixture and use your hands to form a large thin circle. Brush olive oil over the top of the crust . Cook the cauliflower crust for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and add the sauce, cheese, and toppings. Cook under the broil until the cheese is melted. Keep a close eye, as this can happen fast and you don’t want to burn your pizza.

I don’t think I can stress enough how delicious this was. My half was the tomatoes and green peppers. I can’t wait to make it again, I know some people that are on low carb diets and I can’t wait to have them try it too!
