Ingredients
- 500 grams Cauliflower florets
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Grated mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
- 150 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 100 grams Fresh arugula
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice grains.
Step 3
Transfer the processed cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 8 minutes until soft. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 4
Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, wring out the cauliflower to remove excess moisture.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, 50 grams of mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
Step 6
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a flat, round crust about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 7
Brush the crust with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Step 8
Remove the crust from the oven and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
Step 9
Halve the cherry tomatoes and arrange them on top of the cheese.
Step 10
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 11
Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Step 12
Just before serving, top the pizza with fresh arugula, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Step 13
Slice and enjoy your low carb arugula pizza.
