Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower florets
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until you achieve a rice-like texture. You should have about 2 to 3 cups of cauliflower rice.
Step 3
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.
Step 4
Allow the cauliflower to cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel. Wrap it up and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to achieving a crust that isn't soggy.
Step 5
In a large bowl, mix the cooked cauliflower rice, egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
Step 6
Place the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a 10-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 7
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Step 8
Remove the crust from the oven. Add your favorite pizza toppings and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked to your liking.
Step 9
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
