Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 1 Egg
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Marinara sauce, low carb
• 20 Pepperoni slices
• 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until finely ground, resembling coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Transfer the processed cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

Once cooled, place the cauliflower in a clean cloth or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower with the egg, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Transfer the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a crust, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the crust from the oven and spread the low carb marinara sauce evenly over the surface.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 10

Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.

Step 11

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
