The Best Cauliflower Crust Keto Pizza

The Holy Grail

Making the perfect keto friendly pizza is the ultimate dream of most of us who follow a ketogenic diet. There are a number of different recipes for keto pizza that feature almond flour or coconut flour, but this one, the best cauliflower crust keto pizza, uses (you guessed it!) cauliflower for the base. This is great because you can mix and match between the different bases, which stops you from getting bored with the same taste.

This really is a lifesaving recipe for when you are craving something naughty. I mean, that’s what Friday nights are for! Eating pizza! But because this one is so healthy, you can have pizza every day of the week if you want to! Not just on Friday! And this recipe is so good, you’ll truly begin to wonder how something so tasty can actually fit into your diet.

Recipe Information

Let’s start with the toppings. Feel free to add whatever type of toppings you want. For example, pepperoni is a popular favorite and will help add even more protein to your diet. Or if you’re vegetarian, load your pizza up with a load of non-starchy veggies for additional fiber. We, however, decided to go with one of our favorite classic combinations: feta cheese, black olives, and onion. De-lish!

Moving on to the base! It’s actually the crust that is the hero of this dish because it’s one of the hardest things to substitute from a normal pizza. But we believe if you follow the recipe correctly, you’ll have a beautiful crisp base, that is then perfect for spreading on delicious tomato or béchamel sauce. We personally used tomato purée, which some might regard as too high carb, but is honestly essential for our palettes!

Nutritional Information

This has to be one of the healthiest mixes of Italian and American cuisine around. With only 525 calories, this is way lower than the calorie content of a traditional pizza. It also only contains 10 grams of sugar, which is mostly contained within the tomato purée, so feel free to replace this if you wish. There are 35 grams of healthy fats and the best nutrition of all is the whopping 34 grams of protein! So, it doesn’t matter if you’re craving pizza at breakfast, lunch or dinner, this tasty dish is sure to keep you going throughout the day.

Top Tips

This recipe is one of the more difficult to make from the rest on our website, so we’ve got two top tips to help you master this first time around. The main problem people have with this recipe is forgetting to drain the water out of the cauliflower. This is so important to do because otherwise your pizza base will never crisp up and will be soggy. And secondly, remember to use greaseproof baking parchment to line your baking tray! Otherwise, the cauliflower will be impossible to remove once it’s finished cooking.
