Ingredients

• 1 head Fresh cauliflower
• 1 large Egg
• 1.5 cups, shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.75 pound Ground sausage
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 1 medium, diced Bell pepper
• 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 6 fresh, optional Basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 8 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

Once cooled, place the cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a circle about ¼ inch thick, forming a crust.

Step 7

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and firm.

Step 8

While the crust is baking, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Sprinkle the cooked sausage, remaining 0.5 cup mozzarella, bell pepper, and red onion over the sauce.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

Step 13

Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your low-carb sausage pizza!
