Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower florets
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and cut the cauliflower into florets. In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they reach a rice-like consistency, about the size of a grain of couscous.
Step 3
Place the grated cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until soft. Allow it to cool slightly before handling.
Step 4
Once cooled, transfer the cauliflower mixture onto a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth over a bowl. Wrap the towel around the cauliflower and twist to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Removing excess liquid will help the crust hold together.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice, egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 6
Place the cauliflower mixture onto your prepared baking sheet. Spread and shape it into a round or rectangular crust, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 7
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set and starting to brown.
Step 8
Remove the crust from the oven, cool slightly, then add your favorite low-carb toppings. Return to the oven to bake an additional 10-12 minutes or until the toppings are cooked through.
Step 9
Slice and enjoy your low-carb cauliflower crust!
