Ingredients

• 4 cups Cauliflower florets
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce (low carb)
• 0.75 cup Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Sliced red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup Sliced zucchini
• 0.25 cup Sliced red onion
• 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs resembling rice.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower 'rice' to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool, then place it in a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, eggs, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix to form a dough-like consistency.

Step 5

Transfer the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a circle or rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 6

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 7

Remove the crust from the oven and spread the low-carb tomato sauce evenly over it.

Step 8

Top the pizza with shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, red bell pepper slices, zucchini slices, red onion slices, and black olives.

Step 9

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Step 11

Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful, low-carb veggie pizza!
