Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 20 Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 8 Fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Break 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 for 4 minutes. Let it cool slightly, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried cauliflower rice, egg, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, and oregano until well incorporated.
Step 5
Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with olive oil.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and firm.
Step 7
Remove the crust from the oven and spread pizza sauce evenly on top.
Step 8
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then arrange the pepperoni slices.
Step 9
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
Step 11
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve warm.
