Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into florets, and process them in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency.
Step 3
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes, until soft.
Step 4
Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible. This is crucial to achieve a crisp crust.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a circular shape, about 1/4-inch thick. Press the mixture down firmly to ensure it holds together.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch.
