Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower florets
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Break the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles the texture of rice.
Step 3
Transfer the processed cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes till the cauliflower is softened.
Step 4
Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure the crust is not soggy.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, almond flour, nutritional yeast, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and basil leaves. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 6
Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to press and shape it into a circular crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before adding additional toppings for optimal crispiness.
Step 9
Top with your favorite Paleo-friendly toppings and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, if desired.
