Ingredients

• 1 large head Cauliflower
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 0 Salt and pepper to taste
• 0.5 cup Grated mozzarella (for topping)
• 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes, sliced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into florets and blitz in a food processor until fine. Steam or microwave for about 8 minutes until soft. Allow it to cool, then transfer to a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower with the egg, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until well combined. Form the mixture into a flat, round base on the prepared baking sheet, pressing it out evenly.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until it is golden brown and firm.

Step 5

While the crust is baking, prepare the marinara sauce. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the crushed tomatoes to the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the fresh basil leaves and continue to simmer for about 10 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Once the crust is ready, spread the marinara sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 8

Scatter slices of cherry tomatoes over the cheese.

Step 9

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your low-carb pizza marinara.
