Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles fine rice grains. You should have about 3 cups of riced cauliflower.
Step 3
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it on high for 4-5 minutes until soft. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 4
Place the steamed cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and wring it out to remove as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to achieve a crisp crust.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, egg, almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 6
Transfer the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a thin, even circle, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 7
Brush the top of the crust with olive oil to help it crisp up in the oven.
Step 8
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Step 9
Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired paleo-friendly toppings.
Step 10
Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked through and the crust is golden and crisp.
Step 11
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious paleo cauliflower pizza!
