Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower (fresh, medium-sized head)
• 1 Egg
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (optional)
• 1 sheet Parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower becomes fine and resembles rice.

Step 3

Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 4

Once cooled, place the steamed cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze tightly to remove as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy crust.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and (optional) black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Place the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared parchment paper. Use your hands to press and shape it into a thin, round crust, roughly 10-12 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Bake the crust for 20-25 minutes or until it becomes golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Add your favorite pizza sauce and toppings, then return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Slice and serve your delicious cauliflower pizza immediately. Enjoy!
