Believe it or not, you can enjoy a hot slice of pizza without having to worry about packing on unwanted pounds. Here is a delicious (and healthy) cauliflower crust pizza recipe from Dr. Mercola:

Ingredients 2 teaspoons melted butter or coconut oil

2 ½ cups organic cauliflower, grated (about 1/2 a large head)

1 large organic pastured egg, lightly beaten

1 ¼ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, preferably raw

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Kosher or Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper

¼ cup tomato sauce (avoid canned, use natural jarred or fresh)

1 cup organic grape tomatoes, sliced in half

2 cloves garlic, sliced

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Fresh basil leaves, optional Directions Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and preheat oven to 425ºF. Grate the cauliflower using a box grater until you have two cups of cauliflower crumbles. Steam until soft and let cool. Mix in the egg, one cup mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. Once combined, pat into a 10-inch round prepared pizza pan. Coat lightly with melted butter or coconut oil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Top the pizza with the sauce, ¼ cup mozzarella, grape tomatoes, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Bake in the oven until melted and bubbly, another 10 minutes. Top with basil before serving.
