Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower florets
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce, no sugar added
• 20 pieces Beef pepperoni slices
• 0.5 unit Red bell pepper, sliced
• 0.5 unit Green bell pepper, sliced
• 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they reach a rice-like consistency.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Let it cool slightly, then transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, eggs, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix well until it forms a dough-like consistency.

Step 5

Place the cauliflower dough onto the prepared baking sheet and press it into a round crust about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until it turns golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over it.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.

Step 9

Distribute the beef pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese, followed by the sliced red and green bell peppers and black olives.

Step 10

Drizzle the olive oil over the assembled pizza for added flavor.

Step 11

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
