Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower florets
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cups sugar-free tomato sauce
- 0.5 cups mini pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cups fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice. You should have about 2 cups of cauliflower rice.
Step 3
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
Step 4
Place the cooked cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure a non-soggy crust.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower rice, egg, almond flour, nutritional yeast, oregano, sea salt, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
Step 6
Divide the cauliflower mixture into 8 equal portions and form each into a small circle on the prepared baking sheet, about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 7
Brush the top of each mini crust with olive oil and bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden and firm.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread a tablespoon of sugar-free tomato sauce over each mini crust.
Step 9
Top with mini pepperoni slices and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes or until the edges are crispy.
Step 10
Garnish each mini pizza with fresh basil leaves before serving.
