Prep Time:15 mins

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.
