Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower florets
• 1 large Egg
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, reduced fat
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
• 0.5 small Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 1 spray Olive oil cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and thoroughly dry the cauliflower, removing the leaves and cutting it into florets. Use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower into a fine, rice-like texture.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower 'rice' to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 8 minutes or until soft. Allow to cool down slightly, then transfer it to a clean, thin dish towel. Wrap and twist the towel over a bowl or the sink to squeeze out as much water as possible.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower masa, egg, egg white, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until you have a dough-like consistency.

Step 5

Place the cauliflower dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press and form it into a round pizza crust, about 1/4-inch thick, ensuring the thickness is even throughout.

Step 6

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until it turns golden brown and firm.

Step 7

Remove the crust from the oven and spread tomato sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, then add the bell pepper, mushroom slices, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your homemade low-fat cauliflower crust pizza!
